Solère telescopic lamp, hammered paint & blue diffuser, 1950s

Workshop lamp signed by Louis Ferdinand Solère. An emblematic piece of technical lighting from the 1950s, it combines perfect functionality with a timeless industrial aesthetic. This model features a telescopic arm and a wide circular shade, complete with its famous "Solersol" blue resin diffuser. Its finish in green hammered paint, perfectly preserved, is a visual signature of the workshops and design offices of the post-war period. Beyond its appearance, this lamp shines with its technicality. The shade is highly mobile: it can be oriented in all directions thanks to a ball joint system, allowing for precise lighting. To ensure perfect balance, even when the arm is fully extended, its base is weighted with an original cast iron piece. The authenticity of the piece is confirmed by the "SOLR" monogram stamped into the metal of the shade. It has undergone careful restoration: the electrical wire and plug have been replaced for safer use, but the old lever switch (on the dome) and the brass socket have been retained. This lamp has traversed decades while maintaining a beautiful patina. There is a slight deformation (bump) on the base as well as on the dome of the shade. The blue resin diffuser has a chip on its edge (as shown in the photo), which is common for these fragile pieces, but it remains fully functional. The whole piece shows signs of use (paint chips, micro-scratches) consistent with its age and use. Dimensions: 69 X 43 X 28 cm / Shade diameter: 28 cm / Maximum arm length: 61 cm / Minimum arm length: 39 cm / Cable length: 180 cm. Careful packaging.
