This great Kaiser Idell 6718 scissor lamp is an original piece from the 1940s, featuring an embossed shade with "KAISER Jdell." It has been completely renovated and now boasts a black finish with a gray interior. While the lamp has been restored, it is still a Vintage lamp, so there could be some signs of wear, adding to its authentic vintage character. Please look at photos carefully.

For safe functionality, the lamp has been rewired with approximately 3 meters (9.8 feet) of electrical cord and comes with an EU plug. It retains its original E27 fitting and the built-in light switch on the shade.

The Legacy of Kaiser Idell
Kaiser Idell is one of the most iconic names in Bauhaus lighting design. The brand was developed by Christian Dell, a German silversmith and industrial designer, who played a key role in shaping Bauhaus aesthetics. The name "Idell" is derived from Dell’s surname and the word ‘idea.’ The lamps, produced by Gebrüder Kaiser & Co., became famous for their sleek, functional, and high-quality craftsmanship.

Kaiser Idell lamps, including the model 6614, were widely used in offices, workshops, and homes, thanks to their adjustable mechanics and timeless elegance. Their distinctive domed shades and precision-engineered joints made them a staple of 20th-century industrial design. Today, these lamps are highly sought-after collectibles, admired for their history, craftsmanship, and Bauhaus heritage.

This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of design history, a beautifully restored, yet still characterful, original Kaiser Idell 6718 scissor lamp.
