Description: Kurt Versen was a significant designer and lighting planner who developed innovative lamps for industry and interior architecture in the 1930s and 1940s. This table lamp, manufactured for Daalderop, displays a sober yet highly precise formal language: a clearly designed base, a functionally shaped shade and a construction that directs light with purpose. The documented provenance and its place in design history make this lamp an important collector's piece. It is particularly suited to interiors that emphasise historical modernism, Bauhaus influences or industrial clarity.
Condition: Good, age-appropriate vintage condition with patina and signs of use and time that contribute to the authenticity of the object.

Product Safety
This lamp is an original vintage piece. Prior to sale, a visual and functional inspection was carried out (cable, plug, socket, strain relief) as well as a test run. It has not been comprehensively tested in accordance with current VDE standards. Due to its age, the electrical components may pose risks (e.g. aged insulation, missing earth conductor). Before connecting to the 230V mains, it is therefore strongly recommended to have the lamp inspected and, if necessary, updated by a qualified electrician. Use is at the owner's own risk.
