Handmade in Denmark by Soholm Stentoj (Pottery) on the Baltic island of Bornholm in the 1960s/70s.

Has manufacturer’s details, designer’s mark, and model number etched on its base.

36cm high including the lampholder and 16cm wide at its base.

Excellent vintage condition with only very minor signs of age.

Because this lamp hasn’t been rewired yet you have the opportunity to choose the cable colour from a choice of black, dark brown, dark blue, light blue, old gold and burnt orange.

The last photo shows it with other lamps, available for separate purchase.
___________________________________________________________

It will be rewired with vintage style Italian braided cable, and a new switch (if applicable), retaining the original Bakelite lamp holder if practicable (let us know if you would prefer a new E27 lamp holder). If you buy more than one lamp we will ensure they are rewired with matching fittings.

We can fit a British/Irish, European*, Aus/NZ plug or American** plug.

It takes a E27 lightbulb, maximum 60w (not included).

** If used in the USA/100/110/120v we recommend using an energy saving/LED bulb. E26 bulbs should work but because they are 1mm smaller they should be fully turned to ensure they make contact with the fitting. This lamp will take a European type/size lampshade with a ring of 1.5 inches (3.6cm) or alternatively a lampshade that sits on the light bulb. Full details of lampshades can be found under FAQs.
