The story
Kaiser Idell lamps were designed by Christian Dell, the German silversmith who was workshop master of the Bauhaus metal workshop in Weimar. Gebrüder Kaiser & Co. produced them from the 1930s for offices, workshops and homes. Today they are sought-after Bauhaus collectibles.
The restoration
The lamp was rewired with an EU plug and keeps its original E27 fitting and the switch in the base. As an original vintage piece it shows signs of wear.
