A very nice,
black, vintage table lamp, "N71", for sale ! The lamp was designed by
the French manufacturer Jumo in 1935, with a reference to Eileen Gray.
It has a brass-colored,
adjustable arm, shade and lamp base are lacquered in a beautiful black, silky matte
color. The brass details stand out beautifully against the black, this is really
a great lamp!
The double arm
can be tilted both forwards and backwards, and the reflector screen can be rotated
with its own axis. The lamp is in excellent vintage condition, in accordance with
age and use. The lamp has a new switch, a new contemporary spun supply cable and
a new earthed plug, and all electrical work has been carried out by a
professional. Equipped with a new Osram LED tube with old-fashioned "S19"
base, it has been carefully cleaned and overhauled and is ready for its new home!
It has built
up a beautiful and natural patina, after 70-80 years of use, and I have chosen to
leave the brass in its original condition, as that type of patina is only original
once. The lamp's new owner can consider polishing it up, if desired. The lamp is
not "as new", it has its signs of use "here and there" (see
pictures) but this does not affect the impression to any great extent, as this is
a very old lamp.
The stylish appearance of this lamp makes it fit very well into
all types of homes! Eileen Gray is one of the most influential women of 1900s design.
Today, her work is among the most sought-after works on the market, collected by
major institutions such as the Centre Pompidou, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and
the National Museum of Ireland. Yves Saint Laurent was one of her most notable private
collectors.
