Large Desk Lamp by Helo Leuchten Germany, 1950s

Large Helo table lamp with a very large shade and copper-plated brass areas - a timeless classic from the 1950s. Stylistically, the design of the lamp is based on the Bauhaus period. The lampshade can be adjusted in many ways using a ball joint. The solid lamp is made entirely of metal and painted dark green, the inside of the shade is cream white. The paintwork has clearly suffered, the brass parts give the lamp a noble calm. The desk lamp provides a bright, pleasantly glare-free light thanks to the curved shade and is very solidly manufactured. The design of the round, arched base with the switch is adapted to the shade: profiled brass strips on the edge, the dark green finish on the inside and in the center the slightly arched, also copper-plated brass button, which can be used to release the base. The umbrella is rotated via a ball joint and does not need to be locked, it stays in any position. The ball joint has two screws that can be used to loosen or tighten the joint. The lamp was available in several sizes, the largest version is offered with a 41 cm shade - extremely rare. The lamp is in good vintage condition - paint with signs of aging (matt and stained), the brass parts are partially tarnished - with a very beautiful, age-appropriate patina. Great collector's item!
