Bakelite and Aluminum Industrial Desk Work Lamp with Adjustable Arm and Shade

About the Item

Nice, circa 1930s, modernist style desk lamp in Bakelite and aluminum. The arm pivots on a ball and socket joint, and the shade adjusts its position on the arm. This is a nice example of machine age industrial design in lighting. No manufacturer's mark, but certainly European. Please contact us if you have any questions.
