This table lamp is a characteristic example of Mid-Century Modern design from the 1950s. Its clean, geometric lines combine functional design with high-quality materials. The large, flat metal shade, the slender silhouette, and the decorative Bakelite elements lend the lamp a timeless elegance that blends harmoniously into both modern and classic interiors.

Manufacturer

The lamp is attributed to the Zenith brand. It is characterized by a high-quality combination of materials and an industrial design typical of the post-war period.

Function

Designed as a table or desk lamp, the wide metal shade creates a pleasant, glare-free light distribution. This makes the lamp suitable both as functional workplace lighting and as stylish accent lighting on sideboards, consoles, or side tables.

Material & Craftsmanship

The lamp features a gold-anodized aluminum shade, a brass stem with decorative Bakelite rings, and a heavy cast iron base that ensures stability. Equipped with a 230-volt socket and a convenient push-button switch. The original patina underscores its authentic vintage character.

Condition

The table lamp is in good, original condition commensurate with its age, with a beautiful patina. The aluminum shade shows minor signs of wear and a few blemishes. Age-related surface marks on the brass and Bakelite are present and are consistent with the authentic condition of a mid-century design object. This piece has an attribution mark,
