Unfortunately this lamp has no label. Perhaps it is a one off made lamp, by an artist or someone at high school. Very good and solid made and finely finished.

The transformer 220 volt to 11,5 volt was produced by the Belgian company EREA Energy Engineering BVBA from Wijnegem in August 2003. This one is model EREATRONIC 60i/AD. The date is printed in the middle of the label: 08/03.

In all probability this lamp was made in Belgium.
