1960s “Rocket Lamp” Floor Lamp in Sputnik Design
Based on its sturdy, heavy construction and quality, it’s likely a Hesse lamp – but it has no labeling.
This original classic adds a special vintage charm to any interior!
Stands on three sleek legs, with a solid iron frame, delicately designed, and painted black.
The “shade” is made of fine latex sheets and is original, but with noticeable yellowing and missing parts (see pictures!).
The lamp would also look magnificent with a sisal covering, for example; you can basically replace it as desired.
E27 socket
Functional – see pictures!
Apart from the aforementioned yellowing and damaged areas in the covering, one of the struts at the top is broken – this does not affect the stability of the lamp; tilted when standing, it’s not noticeable (see detailed picture), but it comes loose when moved.
Still a beautiful original.
Total height approx. 140 cm
Shade diameter at top approx. 18 cm, bottom approx. 24 cm
Base diameter approx. 35 cm
