Erpé (Établissements Ritzen & Penners) - Art Deco / Bauhaus Banker's Desk Lamp (Model No. 52) - Cast Iron & Enameled Metal - Belgium - 1920s/1930s Authentic and iconic industrial Art Deco / Bauhaus banker’s or notary desk lamp, Model No. 52, manufactured in the 1920s–1930s by the renowned Belgian lighting company Erpé (Établissements Ritzen & Penners, Brussels). Key Features & Authenticity: - Maker's Mark: Clearly stamped in relief on the underside of the base with "MADE IN BELGIUM" and "ERPE". - Design & Materials: Heavy, stepped cast iron base with an articulated joint, curved wrought-metal arm, and a pivoting dark green enameled metal shade with a white enameled interior for optimal light reflection. - Socket & Switch: Fitted with its original brass bulb holder and working metal pull-chain switch. - Wiring: Equipped with a vintage Belgian "Vynckier" two-prong plug (Type C, compatible with standard European outlets). Dimensions : 46 cm × 24 cm × 23 cm Condition: In good, fully working vintage condition with an attractive, authentic age-related patina. The metal and cast iron show minor surface wear, small scratches, and light paint loss consistent with its age (approx. 90–100 years old). The white interior enamel is very well preserved with no major chips, showing only slight natural yellowing above the bulb from heat over the decades. Please note: The lamp is tested and in working order. As with all vintage electrical items, having the wiring checked by a specialist before regular daily use is recommended. The product will be professionally packed and sent safely to your address by local post. The pictures of the product are made with the highest possible resolution, precisely to capture possible small defects (small scratches, stains, defect), the pictures are part of the product description.
