Scandinavian table lamp Einar Bäckström, 1940s

Scandinavian table lamp by Einar Bäckström. Model 4836, 1940s. This well-preserved example has remained in the same Swedish family since its first owner received it as a gift for their 60th birthday, as symbolised by the engraving visible on the base of the lamp near the switch. The brass parts show a remarkable patina of time, while the elm wood stem is in very good condition. The lamp is complete with its original sockets. The metal parts are straight and free from defects, exhibiting natural oxidation of the brass that can be polished for a shiny finish. The switch is new, as is the braided cord from the switch to the also new wall socket. The electricity from the switch to the sockets has also been recently modernised, and the lamp functions normally. Careful shipping worldwide by tracked parcel from our shop in Sweden.
