Antique vintage 1930s Eileen Gray Jumo art deco / bauhaus era lamp
This is a superb original Eileen Gray designed lamp manufactured by the French company Jumo in the prewar era. It was designed in 1934. It’s a beautifully elegant and functional design that epitomises the style of the art deco era. It’s in very nice condition. There is some light pitting to the chrome and a few scratches and minor dents to the shade and main body, but nothing you wouldn’t expect for a lamp of its age. The base of the arms (behind the switch) is a little loose and can be twisted. It could probably be remedied if you tighten the nuts, but I didn’t want to scratch the chrome, so I haven’t done this. It’s perfectly stable and fine to use as it is. It works fine and I believe it has been rewired at some stage, but as with all vintage electrical pieces, I’d recommend getting it tested by a professional electrician. It’s fitted with a European 2-pin plug. I will include a European adaptor for free, but you could obviously put a UK plug on it if you prefer.
