Bauhaus table lamp by Egon Hillebrand, model 5302 - "Gleibo", Germany, 1930s

A magnificent Bauhaus-style lamp from the 1940s: a large brass table lamp signed Egon Hillebrand (West Germany), model 5302. This very robust lamp is distinguished by its large, domed shade, made entirely of chromed brass. At 40 cm high and with a shade diameter of 36 cm, it is both a decorative object and a practical light source, fitted with an E27 bulb. The large shade diffuses a bright yet pleasantly soft light. It rests on a solid brass-finished metal base and terminates in an elegant curved gooseneck. The lamp's surfaces show obvious signs of wear. Two openings have been added later, revealing the cable: one on the arm, concealed by a brass knob, and the other on the base, sealed with a black rubber gasket. This lamp brings a touch of nostalgia and elegance to any room. A perfect addition for any vintage design enthusiast or for those looking to add a touch of history to their home. Signed at the base with the manufacturer's mark and the inscription DRGM (Deutsches Reich Gebrauchsmuster – German Reich Registered Design). Hillebrand Leuchten was founded in 1881 by Egon Hillebrand in Neheim, Germany. The company designed and manufactured desk and table lamps for offices and private homes. After World War II, it continued lamp production until its closure in 1995. Height: 40 cm, base diameter: 18 cm, shade diameter: 36 cm, E27 socket, brass. Weight: 2600 g. Cable length: 190 cm – European plug; an adapter for US plugs is included if needed.
