This piano table lamp, manufactured by German firm Pfäffle Leuchten in the 1960s, is a notable example of matured mid-century modern design. Constructed entirely from polished brass, it displays a distinguished golden hue and a mirror-like gloss. The round, stepped pedestal base features concentric decorative rings that lend visual depth, while the subtly arched, adjustable arm connects via a ball-and-socket joint to a cylindrical shade. This design allows for precise control over light direction, and the narrow slit at the end ensures focused illumination—typical of piano lamps. The craftsmanship is marked by nearly invisible joints and finely worked surfaces, while the brown fabric-covered cord blends quietly with the brass composition. Gentle patina and delicate surface scratches at the edges accentuate its vintage authenticity. The lamp is preserved in very good, original condition, with only slight traces of use characteristic of the 1960s. The form of this lamp evokes the optimism of post-war Germany: the lustrous brass captures the ambiance of a modernist living room, while the adjustable shade reflects the era's pursuit of functional precision. The calm, golden tones diffuse light in a way that echoes the restrained interiors of its time, and the traces of aging tell of evenings spent at a piano or home office. The metal, reserved in its detailing, highlights a devotion to geometry and balance; the decorative rings at the base gently rhythmize the structure, as if setting the cadence of a bygone interior. This lamp could become a distinctive accent in a workspace or a curated reading nook within a living room or study. It will work harmoniously with mid-century veneered desks, geometric shelving, or upholstered seating in neutral tones.
