Did you buy one? After lusting for a Jielde Loft Zig Zag In polished chrome for 2 years, I took a baby step and sold my vintage cast iron and aluminum medical floor lamp on ebay. It has served as a treasured possession for well for over 10 years, but it was time to trade up.

The lamp sold New Year's Eve and when I logged into ebay on New Year's Day, there was the perfect, vintage, newly rewired, polished Zig Zag Jielde. I sent in my best offer, within moments it was accepted and I now run to the door each day like a puppy when I hear the ups truck humm up the street. I am so excited for it to arrive!!!

I hope you have or will get one and experince the same joy it has bring me!

Hi Jaime!

Yes it's SPECTACULAR in person - only problem is it came diassembled and I put it together and can't get it to work. GREEEE. I know it worked before I bought it so something may have gotten rattled in shipping - the connections are rather tricky - filaments that need to line up etc. Easy enough to take it to the local rewiring guy, but if anyone has anyone here has any tips - plz send! I am sure it is something quite simple ;) Thnaks again for the lovely blog! Hilary
