Original bakelite switch in the shade.Stamped Kaiser Idell Original to the rear of the shade and also Kaiser JDell on the bakelite housing on the arm. The two arm sections measure around 52cm (20.5 inches) each. The shade's diameter is about 21cm (8.25 inches).Condition: The lamp is in very good original condition with some expected corrosion to the surface of the metal in places (eg the rear of the shade) but no damages. There are no splits, dents or signs of restoration. It has obviously been well handled over the decades and is a good survivor. 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.
