model 3 desk lamp

Sybold van Ravesteyn (Nl 1889-1983)

Model 3 desk lamp. Metal & lacquered wood.

_Originally designed in the 1926, a few limited productions of the design were manufactured in the 1970s. This particular lamp is a very rare 1970s production that was the most faithful to the original series of only 8 lamps that were made. This version has wooden black and white sections (like the original). It has a screwed in metal plate around the two switches (like the original) and a cleaner top edge (without a plastic protector shield that some versions have)

(please note that this is not a DS 23 Huszár lamp)
