French Adjustable Brass + Green Enamel Table Lamp, 1950s

$2,200.00

A petite French adjustable table lamp from the 1950s, combining green-painted iron, brass, and a deep green enamel shade.

The lamp is designed around a long brass arm that pivots where it meets the base, allowing the height and angle to be changed considerably. At the opposite end, the conical enamel shade is mounted within a circular green-painted iron fitting and can be tilted independently to direct the light.

A continuous length of green-painted iron rod forms the open base, while brass fittings and a small ball finial punctuate the otherwise utilitarian construction. The shade retains its dark green exterior with a lighter interior that reflects the light downward.

At just one foot tall in the upright position, the lamp can shift from a compact table lamp to a lower, extended task light, making its adjustable construction one of its most interesting features.

DIMENSIONS: 8"W x 19"D x 12"H

ORIGIN: France

PERIOD: 1950s

MATERIALS: Brass,Metal,Enamel

CONDITION: Good vintage condition. Age-related scuffs, scratches, finish wear, and areas of patina are present throughout the brass, painted iron, and enamel shade, consistent with age and use.
