A Paavo Tynell “Horseshoe” Perforated Table Lamp Model 9224 in Brass & Leather, Idman

The rare perforated version and one of the nicest examples of the 9224 table lamps that we ever came across. This model is also known as the “horse shoe” due to the horseshoe resembling foot and other features making it resemble Thoroughbreds (see archive pictures) In a 1950s edition of the Finland House Lighting catalouge this lamp was nicknamed Thoroughbred. Now if you think that was because of the horseshoe-foot, think again.

The Thoroughbred is a hot-blooded racing horse breed known for its agility and it’s physical features include a well-chiseled head, a long slim neck and a lean body. Somehow, that sounds like an exact description of the 9224 lamp. Add to that the leather harness and it’s spot on.

This version has perforated funnel shape brass lamp shade with dark walnut brown leather coated stem. It is in really nice vintage condition with fine patina. The electricity has been updated. The lamp is in functioning condition and retains all original parts.

The lamp is stamped by the manufacturer “Idman”.
