This wall lamp from the 1930s, designed in the spirit of Bauhaus, is constructed from brass with chrome plating, offering a balanced, silvery sheen and a nearly mirrored finish. The body takes the shape of a horizontal cylindrical tube with high gloss, mounted on a rectangular backplate with softly rounded edges. The left end is finished with a cream-colored, ribbed ceramic socket, introducing a subtle vintage accent that gently contrasts with the metallic surface. All mounting and construction elements are explicitly industrial: visible screws, capped tube ends, and precise connections. Minor traces of patina and micro-scratches are present on the lamp’s surface, consistent with age; there are no significant defects. The condition is very good—small signs of time only underscore the piece’s authenticity and collectible value. This lamp gives voice to the stark rhythm of the 1930s, a period when function took precedence over ornament and geometric discipline became the hallmark of the new era. Its mirrored surface channels cool light throughout the interior, reflecting understated, everyday gestures as if each switch-on recalls the minimalism of interwar workshops and their determined hands. The cream ceramic detail serves as a gentle counterpoint—an allusion to Bauhaus’s appreciation of subtle tension between industrial precision and human scale, infusing a note of softness into this purely functional creation. The lamp is best placed on a neutral, smooth wall—white, deep grey, or unadorned canvas will set off the chrome’s reflective quality. Combined with other industrial elements such as a metal console or a geometric chair, it becomes a strong focal point accentuating a modernist narrative. For a refined contrast, pair it with natural wood or ceramics in a collector’s interior. Whether in a loft, a modernist living room, or a home study, the lamp
