Description

Table lamp featuring a stem made of blackened, twisted round steel and a four-legged base of hammered round steel with scrolled feet. It has a hand-stitched parchment shade with a forged, flower-shaped cap and a retaining screw featuring a hammered round head. Electrified in the post-war period. Height approx. 60 cm. Himmler purchased the villa in Gmund am Tegernsee around 1934 and had it renovated and furnished in a rustic Bavarian style; a command post and an air-raid shelter were added later. In 1945, it was used by the US Army and subsequently handed over to the Free State of Bavaria.
