Beautiful xxl table light by herda amsterdam (dutch design) from the 60/70s in excellent condition! herda represents exclusive design and the use of high-quality materials. the brass frame of the lamp, with a beautiful design and lovely details, has a hexagon shape just like the lampshade. With its height of 44 cm / 17.32", this lamp base is herda's largest table lamp. the lampshade is made of fabric in off-white with decorative piping on the edges. Due to the reflection of light on the brass, and the tempered light through the lampshade, the lamp diffuses very atmospheric light. herda was a lighting factory founded by the daniels brothers in 1946 with headquarters in amsterdam.
