Z-Lamp or Diplomat by Louis Kalff for Philips, Netherlands, 1950s

Original 1950s z or diplomat lamp by louis kalff for philips. This well-known desk lamp has a solid brass frame in the shape of a z. The lampshade is made of black metal and contains a brass plate with the text 'philips'. The round opening in the lampshade is designed so that you can see the top of the lamp. These lamps are used with a top mirror bulb. The lampshade is white on the inside. The lampshade shows normal signs of use: small paint chips, some light scratches, and some small dents at the top of the lampshade. The frame has a hole at the bottom. Dit is the result of an attempt by the previous owner to rewire the lamp 'the easy way' by creating a hole in the frame. In the meantime, the wiring has been renewed and put back through the z frame, as it originally was. The lamp has an e27 fitting/fitting. Top mirror bulb included. Netherlands, 1950s. Designer/manufacturer: louis kalff for philips. In good condition, with normal wear and tear on the lampshade and base. See pictures. Dimensions: 40 (h) X 34 (w) X 34 (d foot) cm.
