The Kaiser 6718 wall lamp, designed by Christian Dell for Kaiser Idell in the 1930s, exemplifies the industrial design principles of the Bauhaus era. The all-metal construction—from the domed, rotating shade and scissor extension arm to the clamp mounting bracket—is finished in a deep, subdued green lacquer with a semi-gloss sheen. The inner part of the lampshade is painted in a contrasting cream tone, enhancing the reflection of light. The articulated scissor mechanism allows smooth adjustment of length and position, while the original bakelite rotary switch on the front of the shade remains intact. The lamp's construction reveals the geometric discipline, clean lines, and exposed mechanical joints characteristic of 1930s German modernism. Condition: the lamp shows authentic patina, with signs of use, lacquer chipping, and surface wear, but no major damage—consistent with its age and history.Bearing the "ORIGINAL KAISER-Idell" mark, this model tells the story of the German Bauhaus—a period when form was always at the service of function. The cool discipline of the green finish and steel structure evoke the spirit of the workshop, where light was intended as a tool rather than an ornament. The articulated mechanism speaks to a fascination with engineering, and the bakelite switch recalls the early days of domestic electrical comfort. Its patina and traces of time are not merely marks of decades past, but evidence of authenticity and the durability of a design that has survived nearly a century.The 6718 lamp can integrate equally well into a collector's display or a home office or living room inspired by modernism. It may be paired with a walnut
