About the Item

An early Kaiser Idell lamp designed by Christian Dell, Germany, 1930s—a timeless Bauhaus-era piece celebrated for its purposeful engineering and clean silhouette. Originally conceived as a wall lamp, it was later thoughtfully mounted on a wooden base, allowing it to function beautifully as a table lamp. With its sculptural black metal shade (white interior for crisp light), elegant angled arm, and warm wooden grip detail, this lamp has that unmistakable Dell character: minimal, practical, and striking from every angle. A rare and highly collectible lighting piece that works equally well on a desk, sideboard, or reading corner—bringing authentic pre-war German modernism into the home. Can be converted back to a wall lamp if desired. * We can pack and ship world-wide ! Feel free to ask us a quote for shipping.
