Originally this item was used as a photo lamp by a professional photographer to create a great light in a studio in the beginning of the 20th century. This is a great table lamp from the art deco era and was produced in 1920s in Czechoslovakia. Now it serves as a table lamp with an original history and definitely unique design. Staning strong on a black metal construction, the lamp has a base and shield from steel in a high polished chrome finish. This gives the lamp almost a sculptural attitude even when not used. Restored electrical components to secure the safety of the lamp. Original condition with a very little wear on the light. Original cabelling still functional, but we can have it changed if the client wishes, free of charge. Works on one bulb, European plug. European Plug (up to 250V).The wiring of this item may be original and might need replacement, if not specified otherwise.
