Description

  • Dirk van Erp
  • Table Lamp
  • stamped DIRK VAN ERP within a rectangular open box below a windmill

  • hand-wrought copper and mica

Condition

Generally good overall condition. Some scattered rubbing, scratches and minor surface imperfections to the patina as expected from age and use. The mica appears to be original, but with areas of patched restoration which shows with lustrous traces of glue. The mica appears to have a secondary finish. The tabs which hold the mica in place seem original and do not show evidence of repeated movement. The lamp has been re-wired and the sockets and pull switches are replaced.
