Handcrafted lantern made of cast and wrought copper.
over decades, cast copper develops a dark brown to greenish patina (patina), which protects the metal.
cathedral/antique glass was used, which has slight irregularities or air bubbles and refracts the light particularly softly.
between 1930 and 1950, this functional yet classic style (often referred to as "werkbund style" or late reform architecture) was widespread. The hexagonal shape and the curved struts below the glass body are typical of artisanal metalwork from this era.
the coppersmith's craft is not entirely extinct, but is considered a significantly diminished traditional craft, often described today as "almost extinct."
the lamp requires one e27 bulb (e26 in the usa).
the electrical components are in very good condition and can be used worldwide at voltages of 110 to 250 volts.
the porcelain socket has a rated power of up to 500 watts.
the metal housing of the socket bears the marking "drp," the abbreviation for "deutsches reichspatent" (german reich patent) – an indication that it predates 1945.
up to 250v (europe/uk standard).the wiring of this item may be original and might need replacement, if not specified otherwise.
