A lamp manufacturer who has been producing these lamps in germany to date. Midgard constructed the first articulated "steering lamps", these lamps were a true innovation at the beginning of the 20th century.

This lamp is originally made as a wall mountable lamp. We have mounted the lamp on a heavy base to be used as a table or desk lamp. Removing it from the base & mounting to the wall is simply done by just removing the mounting screws. Completely rewired & tested ready to go.

Many of the items we have for sale are all from what we refer to as " real life ", they were all made for use & purpose. There will always be signs of use & aging which we think gives each item its individuality & personal charm. We clean & repair but we always try our best to keep everything in its original state. We will always give you a good idea of condition & especially highlight anything that we consider may have aesthetic or structural concern.
