Rare Kurt Versen American Art Deco Table Lamp

Reference: 

MPD-000167
Description

This very rare and important American art deco table lamp was designed in the early 1930’s by Kurt Versen (1901 – 1942). The lamp, virtually hand made, with its domed shade and flat thin base precedes the model advertised by him in the November 1934 Art & Decoration magazine…the copper domed shade has given way to a less expensive shade of cork or Toyo Paper. The support is 1” bronze tubing. The lamp has its original socket and works well. We have resisted the temptation to polish off almost eighty years of patina. The lamp is 16 ¼” high and the shade is 10” diameter.
