Vintage industrial machine/work lamp from the 1950s by Pfaff made of bakelite/metal with an articulated mounting clamp. Lighting has been tested and works properly.
This is an authentic industrial machine lamp from the Pfaff brand, manufactured in Germany during the 1950s. The design is a paragon of functionality and durability, characteristic of the post-war industrial era. The lamp combines a robust construction with a minimalist aesthetic, giving it a timeless character.
The lampshade is made of black bakelite, an early type of plastic known for its heat resistance and insulating properties. The inside of the shade is painted white for optimal light reflection. An adjustable arm of chromed metal allows the light to be precisely directed, and the integrated clamp ensures a firm attachment to a desk, shelf or workbench.
The overall condition of the lamp is good and in accordance with its age and original use in an industrial environment. The lamp is functional and retains its original patina, which contributes to its authentic character. The wiring and the European plug are visible in the photos.
Thanks to its compact and flexible design, this lamp is extremely suitable as task lighting on a desk in a home office, in a studio or as a characterful accent in an interior with an industrial, vintage or eclectic style.
