Helo desk lamp with adjustable shade, vintage table lamp XXL, Mid Century - vintage

Large Helo table lamp with a very large shade and copper-plated (bronzed?) brass sections – a timeless classic from the 1950s. Stylistically, the lamp's design is inspired by the Bauhaus era. The lampshade is versatilely adjustable via a ball joint. The solid lamp is made entirely of metal and painted dark green, with the interior of the shade in creamy white. The copper plating lends the lamp a refined serenity. The curved shade provides bright, pleasantly glare-free light and is very solidly constructed. The round, curved base with the switch is designed to match the shade: profiled brass strips on the edge, a dark green lacquer finish on the interior, and a slightly curved, copper-plated brass knob in the center, which can be used to release the base. The shade rotates via a ball joint and does not need to be locked; it stays in any position. The ball joint has two screws that can be used to loosen or tighten the joint. The lamp was available in several sizes, the largest version being offered with a 41 cm lampshade - extremely rare.

The lamp is in good vintage condition—the paint shows clear signs of aging (dull and spotty), and the copper-plated brass parts are partially tarnished—with a very beautiful, age-appropriate patina. A rare collector's item!
