Kaiser Idell Rare Pair Of Early 6551 Lamps Art Deco Bauhaus Dell Design Classic

RARE PAIR OF EARLY KAISER IDELL 6551 LAMPS. 1920’s ART DECO / BAUHAUS DESIGN CLASSIC. DESIGNED BY CHRISTIAN DELL, HEAD OF METALWORK AT THE BAUHAUS. THE DESIGN IS THE PERFECT BLEND BETWEEN FORM AND FUNCTION, TYPICAL OF THE PERIOD. THE LAMPS ARE EARLY POST WAR MODELS (STAMPED KAISER IDELL NOT THE EARLIER JDELL MARK) WITH THE SILVER INTERIOR TO THE SHADES (NOT THE LATER WHITE/CREAM). THE LAMPS ARE IN GREAT OVERALL CONDITION. THE PAINTWORK IS A MUTED, SATIN BLACK. THE INTERIORS OF THE SHADES HAVE AN AGED PATINA. ONE LAMP HAS A VENT HOLE IN THE SIDE OF THE SHADE (SEE PIC 10), WHICH IS OFTEN FOUND IN MANY OF THE EARLY LAMPS. THE SAME LAMP HAS A FELT-COVERED, PLASTIC BASE PLATE, AS THE ORIGINAL METAL ONE HAD RUSTED AND BROKEN APART (SEE PIC 12). IT IS ALSO EARTHED THROUGH ITS BASE (LITTLE BUMP ON THE SURFACE OF THE BASE WHICH IS THE END OF THE SCREW, SEE PIC 11). BOTH LAMPS WERE REWIRED SOME YEARS AGO TO UK STANDARDS. NOT CURRENTLY PAT TESTED, SO YOU MAY WISH TO GET THEM CHECKED. PLEASE CONTACT ME IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. PLEASE SEE MY OTHER LISTINGS.
