Product description
The table lamp Model D-2059 produced in the late 1960s, early 1970s by Raak Amsterdam. This table lamp of metal and glass has a height of no less than 80 cm, making it a real eye-catcher in the interior. The base consists of metal rings fitted with gemstones made of in-the-oven fermented glass. The lamp has an interesting shade of matte polished clear aluminum. Raak Amsterdam describes the gemstones as ".... glass fermented in the growing furnace and solidified into worlds of almost non-existent color and texture" (Raak Amsterdam Light Catalogue, page 32). Due to their timeless decorative appearance, the lamps suit both retro '70s, Mid - Century Modern, Art Deco, Regency, brutalist or industrial or contemporary interiors. The aluminum lampshade has a slightly conical shape. From the base rises the central tubular aluminum column. This is decorated with a series of 5 aluminum rings. The top and bottom are empty round frames. The 3 rings in the middle hold handmade colored glass panels. Each of these 5 rings rotates 360 degrees and can be placed in different positions, as well as move up and down along the main vertical column. Each section of glass consists of 2 round glass panels of the same color, mounted on either side of the aluminum round frame. The diversity of texture, effect and color is exceptional.
The lamp is in good condition with normal signs of use according to its age. All glass panels are original with no chips or cracks. The brushed aluminum base is in good condition with no dents and only superficial signs of age. The stainless steel shade is in very good condition (see photos).
The lamp has been fully restored (not by us) with attention to the natural patina. We have given the lamp a new grounded plug.
