A workshop lamp by the Bauhaus teacher Christian Dell
An extremely rare variant of Dell's industrial lamp model, designed by the master of the Bauhaus metalwork department for the Kaiser company in the late 1930s for architects and draftsmen.
Executed in black lacquered steel with adjustable clamp fixture, articulating joint at the 'elbow' and ball joint at the base allowing 360 degree manouevrability. Original bakelite switch in the shade.
Stamped Kaiser Idell Original to the rear of the shade. There's even the remnant of the original paper label on the inside of the shade.
The two arm sections measure around 52cm (20.5 inches) each. The shade's diameter is about 16cm (6.25 inches).
Condition: The lamp is in extremely good condition with obnly minor wear to the surface of the lacquer and no damages. There are no splits, dents or signs of restoration. It has obviously been well handled over the decades and is an excellent survivor. The condition is so good that it is possible that it has been refinished by a previous owner. Although the original wiring has been renewed at some stage in its life and it works, the wiring is not modern and it must be inspected by a qualified electrician before use. I have removed the plug for safety reasons. Please see my note below concerning the sale of all vintage electrical items.
Don't miss this fantastic piece of authentic Bauhaus industrial design. A great historical talking point and functional item for your home, office or workshop.

Paypal is accepted and I do not add a surcharge to cover their fees. UK buyers only may also pay by cheque or postal order. If it's a cheque, please allow 7 to 10 days for it to clear. It may be possible for overseas customers to pay by another means, such as bank transfer in GBP£, by prior arrangement.
All buyers please make contact within 3 days of auction. Payment is required within 7 days.
Non-payment
All non-paying bidders are, without exception, reported to eBay. This is not for the sake of being vindictive, but because eBay charges retrospective fees calculated on the actual sale price of items and this money needs to be retrieved. It's hard enough to make ends meet on here as it is! Thank you for your understanding. Please refer to eBay's policy on non-payment for more information, including its ramifications for the bidder.
Condition of items
Please note that, unless clearly stated otherwise, my listings are for vintage/antique items and therefore, by definition, are not going to be in the same condition you would expect from a brand new item. Please be assured that I always endeavour to offer the most accurate description possible of the item's condition and take multiple illustrative photographs.
Vintage electrical items
Unless clearly stated otherwise in the description, vintage electrical items are sold in their original condition so should be safety checked by an electrician before use.
Returns
Returns are possible, if reported within 7 days and by prior arrangement, if a mistake has been made in the listing and the item is not as described, but for no other reason. I'm afraid that straightforward buyer's
remorse does not qualify and the cost of return postage is not included in any refund. k That's it...please don't hesitate to contact me if there is anything you need to know that I have overlooked; I always endeavour to answer queries as quickly as possible.
Thanks very much for taking the time to read this and best of luck with your bidding!
