Midgard 110 vintage big scissor lamp in original condition wih shade made of aluminium

The design of this vintage scissor lamp was developed by Curt Fischer, who worked on the idea of the ‘steerable light’ from approx. 1920 on. Even before the well known designs by Christian Dell or Marianne Brandt, Curt Fischer realized the idea of the so-called ‘steerable light’ with the all-round movable work lamp. The metal workshop at the Weimar Bauhaus was lit with Midgard lights, serving as an example to Bauhaus students, and was used later in Ilse and Walter Gropius’ master house livingroom at the Dessau Bauhaus.

After the thorough dismantling, rust removal
of all elements, the lamp was cleaned and rebuilt again. All the small parts have been cleaned, polished, oiled.

The lamp has beautiful signs of wear consistent with its age and use and a nice patina.
The lamp is in good overall condition.

The lamp is engraved with the Midgard logo and DRGM DRP Ausl Pat on the scissor, DRGM on the bulb socket and the shade.

The mechanical system of the lamp functions perfectly.

The electrical equipment was renewed and refurbished with a three-wire system and a black cloth coated cord was used.
The light is operated by a rotary switch located on the brass lamp socket.

The lamp can be easily attached to the wall with the wall-mount bracket and screws.
