Story
A very early morning at the Palmenflohmarkt (palm tree flea market) in Linz yielded this wonderful desk lamp in the style of Christian Dell. The design and execution date back to the 1930s and are almost identical to the Kaiser lamps of that era. This particular example has aged beautifully and is in its original condition. Only the cable and push-button switch have been replaced; the remaining parts of the lamp have been carefully cleaned to preserve its wonderful patina.
