A beautifully patinated desk lamp by Erpe. Belgium, 1930s.
A desk lamp produced by Erpe in Belgium during the interwar period. Constructed in painted cast iron and sheet metal, the lamp combines a stepped architectural base with a slender angular stem supporting a broad rectangular shade. A piece balancing between art deco and early modernist industrial design.
The original surface has developed a rich and beautiful patina through decades of use, revealing traces of the material beneath. When illuminated, the warm brass-toned interior of the shade casts an intimate, focused light.
Comes in a good original condition. Originally - EU - wired.
Dimensions: W. x D. x H. cm
