Although we cannot make any exact statements on this rare fixture, we have a strong feeling it was produced by Kandem, around the 1930s. It features a robust, yet delicate bell-shaped body made of cast aluminium, and a greyish enamelled shade.
Together with many other fixtures, the Black Stork was found at the ceiling of a storage building on the premises of a former East German refrigerator manufacturer. All fixtures found in this space are considered special pieces originating from before the second world war or just soon after. Presumable after a reconstruction, these lamps were stockpiled at the attic, and left to be forgotten.
The Black Stork comes with a special 40 watt E27 deco-bulb, 1,5 meter of matt black cable, and a passport describing its history and origin.
