The lamp base is made from patinated solid brass and the shades are opaline glass. The lamp is stamped "pat. Appl." (patent applied). Henningsen invented the 3-shaded "ph-lamp" in the mid 1920s and acquired the patent in the spring of 1928. The lamps made before this date are extremely rare collectors items. This lamp is higher than the standart model and is made on custom order without the usual switch on the base making it an even rarer find. The light bulb position can be adjusted by turning the socket house. This was poul henningsen idea to avoid any blinding from the filament light bulb.
