The Lamp....THE. LAMP.



It's huge





It's mid-century





It's German

 


It's lava
It's in perfect working condition


 


When lit up, light comes through all the holes in the base
 

What more do you want from a statement piece??

    Those West German lamps and vases are quite a regular sight here. I do love them but they just don't look right in our house.
    I ADORE that oranhe frock in the window. Any chance of getting your pretty young assistant to model it off so I can admire it? xxxx

    What an amazing lamp - I mean, it's not just, um, 'lovely' to look at, it's a real conversation starter. What kind of home decor did this once blend into? Were the previous owners trend setter, trend followers or trend impaired? Thanks for sharing!

    Annie/Helen; that is one of the best comments I've ever had, you are awesome!

    Vix; lucky you. These lamps have never been brought into Australia, so they are hyper-rare here. The dress isn't mine so I'll see what I can do about another pic.xx.
