About this seller
Product description
Designed and patented in Paris in the early '40s by Jean Leclerc, the Sanfil lamp belongs to a generation of French industrial luminaires created to meet the demands of workshops and machine tools. Its name, a contraction of sans fil apparent ("without visible wire"), reflects the innovation of the time: wiring is fully integrated into the articulated arms, offering a safer, cleaner design for working environments.
This model has been fully restored to its original condition. The joints have been polished to bring out the beauty of the raw cast aluminum, while the steel arms have retained their original khaki color, with the natural patina of time and use.
The wiring inside has been completely renewed, and every joint carefully greased to restore full mobility. Mounted on a mechanical base in the same spirit, this Sanfil proudly displays its utilitarian past.
The textile cord is easily replaced thanks to a connection inside the base, and can be supplied free of charge in the color of your choice, subject to stock availability: black, yellow, green, blue, etc. Don't hesitate to ask!
