This refined pewter table lamp was produced by Gerotin, a maker associated with both the Netherlands and Denmark, and dates to the first half of the 20th century. The piece combines the simple elegance of Nordic design with a deeply personal touch — an engraved Swedish dedication commemorating a silver wedding anniversary. The inscription adds a layer of warmth and human history to the object, suggesting it was originally a cherished gift.
The base, with its gently flared silhouette and subtle hand-finished texture, is crafted in pewter, a material long prized for its soft lustre and durability. Stamped Gerotin on the underside, the lamp has been thoughtfully adapted for modern use, fitted with discreet wiring and a bayonet bulb fitting. A quiet but characterful piece, equally suited to traditional and contemporary interiors.
