Description

In this listing we are very pleased to offer an exceptional all metal pendant lamp by Temde. This lamp is fairly unique lamp although probably in a few Swiss & German homes there may be one. Please note that it is fairly large with a height of 30 centimeters. The lamp has many original features. First of all the combination of the rectangular body with the round added middle parts that look like old fashioned hand-held voice amplifiers. The yellow middle circle on a stick is actually a screw! Then there is the indirect lighting that is reminiscent of mid century moon & eclips lamps. The lamp is entirely made of metal. To our best guess it is steel as the lamp is quite heavy. The lamp is signed with a paper Temde sticker label that also includes the model number. About the company Temde was a German lamp manufacturer founded by Fritz Mller, son of a furniture manufacturer in the town of Detmold. Fritz Mller was quick in recognising the potential of the ongoing electrification of modern life & began producing electric lamps with wooden bodies. Temde was one if the first companies to use the brand new medium of film to instruct its employees in the 1930s. Following the economic crises & following trade barriers the company set up a sister company in Switzerland that focussed more on the creation of metal & glass lamps. in the 1950s the company used new technologies like veneer & plywood. Temde lamps were always high quality & had high production costs. This made it hard for Temde to compete on price with its competitors & they profited less than expected from the German recovery. in the 1970s the company focussed more on metal, glass & plastic lamps using modern designs. in 1986 the German company was dissolved & in 2000 the last remains of the Swiss Temde were also dissolved. Measurements: Height: 30 centimeters / 11.81 inches Width x depth : 21 x 21 centimeters / 8.27 x 8.27 inches The white circles have a diameter of 19.7 centimeters / 7.76 inches The lamp takes an E27 screw bulb fitting. The lamp is fitted with a reinforced cord of 200 centimeters. The reinforcement thread is purposely fixed to bulb holder. This is necessary because of the weight of the lamp. It comes with a hard plastic ceiling cap that might be the original ceiling cap although we are not sure. Condition: Very good condition. One of the white discs has a rough area of about 2 x 2 centimeters. There is an occasional chip of paint off & here & there a mild scratch or scuff. One of the white discs is placed slightly closer to the body than the other three but you would only notice that if you look at the lamp from straight below (or top). Minor signs of age & use but nothing distracting. This is a very well built lamp in a very attractive condition. Inside there are minor signs of use but no paint off. Please refer to the pictures to get the best impression of the condition. Many more pictures are available of this item. Do not hesitate to ask us in case of doubt.
