Although also a silversmith and jeweller he is now best known as functionalist innovator and a key figure in the development of industrial lighting. His significance in the story of twentieth century design is becoming increasingly recognised by museums worldwide.Theis example is executed in cream - rather than black - lacquered steel. It is stamped with the factory mark 'Kaiser Idell Original' to the rear of the shade.The lamp stands at approximately 25cm in height. The diameter of the shade is about 15cm.The lamp is in very good vintage, used condition with some minor wear to the surface of the lacquer consistent with age but no dents or other significant damages to the metal. It has has yellowed a little over time, presumably from exposure to sunlight. This model, originally designed for hospital use, is extremely hard to find and even more uncommon in cream. The wiring has been renewed at some point in the recent past by a previous owner and works. However, in common with all vintage electrical items, it must be checked by a qualified electrician before use.

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, by prior arrangement.All buyers please make contact within 3 days of auction. Payment is required within 7 days.I ship worldwide and UK and overseas postage prices are usually included in the description, but please do not hesitate to ask for a quote if you cannot see them. I always recommend insured postage for the buyer's peace of mind and make this available as an option.Non-paymentAll 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. Believe me it is becoming increasingly difficult 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. If you have any doubts, please do ask before bidding.Condition of itemsPlease note that, unless clearly stated otherwise, my listings are for vintage/antique objects 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 itemsUnless explicitly stated otherwise in the description, vintage electrical items are always sold in their original condition without electrical guarantee, so should always be safety checked by a qualified electrician in the country of intended use before use. ReturnsReturns may be made, if reported within 7 days and by prior arrangement only, 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. kThanks very much for taking the time to read this and best of luck with your bidding!laszlo moholy-nagy christian dell modernism modernist marianne brandt staatliches herbert bayer functionalism mies van der rohe weissenhofsiedlung le corbusier international style kippascher walter gropius wolfgang tumpel georg jensen christian dell Hans Przyrembel Laszlo Moholy-Nagy Place a Bid!
