20th century design

First time published in the 1965 Laurel Catalog and unanimously recognized as the most beautiful high-intensity lamp in America, the Model D750 known as the "sprite-lite" has impressed since its appearance with its aerodynamics sculptural shape and versatility (can be used as a table, desk, bedside or wall lamp due to a mounting hole under the base) and continues to impress even today, when it is hunted by collectors and design lovers around the world. This true work of futuristic art that excels in both form and finish, was specially designed by sculptor Richard Barr for Laurel Lamp Co. in the early 1960's, with a die-cast sculpted base (incorporating the transformer which by its weight gives the lamp a very good stability) and two-toned shade, which houses a high intensity light bulb. Originally the “sprite-lite” was offered in black, white, green, sand, tangerine, mustard, and blue with Swedish brass accents. Also offered in polished chrome with black accents, or all Swedish brass.The lamp is multi adjustable and can pivots easily both at the base and at the shade. The lamp on offer is in sand tone with Swedish brass finish, with all the original components (including electrics) and is equipped with voltage converter 220V to 110V and European plug. Laurel manufacture sticker still present on shade interior. Fully functional with some minor wear, the lamp is in very good vintage conditions. Bulb is included, but 12V high-intensity replacement bulb are broadly available anyway.
