Unique wall lamp from the middle of the 20th century. This style of architecture, art and interior is called “Stalin’s Empire” – a style that became popular and promoted in the 1930s – 1950s. The lamp is made of light metal (presumably silumin or aluminum), has a silver color. It was repainted in the Soviet years, as it hung in a government building in the very center of the capital of Ukraine – Kyiv. These lamps were produced in the Belarusian city of Lida especially for Soviet government buildings in extremely small quantities(inscriptions on the back of the lamp indicate this). Height – 11 1/2 (29 cm). Weight – 1065 gr. An extra rare and interesting part of the past. Every day there are fewer of them, suitable as a collection, for a gift or as a good deal in the future.

NARKOMOVSKAYA Stalin’s lamp antique Soviet USSR hammer and sickle ORIGINAL. A complete restoration has been made – the electrician has been replaced, the lampshade is fabric, the leg is varnished. Everything is in perfect condition. Magnificent table lamp of the Stalinist period, general’s, with sickles and hammers on the lampshade. On the way of business; in the normal course of work. A convenient switch is installed. All components in the lamp are original, except for the power cord and fabric on the lampshade, since the “native” rubber insulation, like the fabric of the lampshade, has deteriorated. The half-meter table lamp “Narkomovskaya” is made of metal with a narrow fabric shade. In the circle of her world, so many historical and tragic documents for the country have been signed that it becomes scary. Although the lamp is certainly not to blame for this. Such lamps were produced by the Moscow plant “Electrosvet” from about the mid-20s to 1937. They almost did not go on free sale – they were used in the offices of responsible comrades from various people’s commissariats, most often from the Red Army. This is a symbol of the harsh Stalinist years. For almost half a century they decorated the tables of all ceremonial meetings of the People’s Commissariats. It was a sign of high status. During the Second World War, in the territories occupied by the Nazis, the lanterns that did not have time to evacuate were either completely destroyed, or only the cover with Soviet symbols was destroyed.
