Table lamp no. 11126 by Eric Kirkham Cole, 1930s

About the Item

This modernist table lamp was designed in Britain in the 1930s by Eric Kirkham Cole. Cole was the founder and chief designer of the British electronics company EKCO, which specialized in the production of radios and, later, televisions using new materials such as plastic and Bakelite. The Czechoslovakian company Elektrosvit Nove Zamky obtained an exclusive license from Cole to produce this version of the lamp with the type number 11105 and produced it from the 1930s to the late 1940s. The lamp base and shade are made of black bakelite (very modern for the time) . The lampshade is painted silver on the inside and can be adjusted to different positions by moving the steel rod. The lampshade, in particular, has a wonderful organic shape, typical of Cole's work in the 1930s, although it is most noticeable in his designs for radios. This shape is not only attractive and modern some 80 years after it was first produced, but it also maximizes the amount of light transmitted by this table lamp.This piece is in excellent vintage condition, with slight natural wear and tear on the inside of the shade. There are no chips or cracks on any part of the lamp.
