About the Item

This exceptional swing arm wall lamp was designed and produced by Gebrüder Cosack in Germany in the early 1950s. The brass arm is articulated at two points - one at the wall bracket, the other in the middle of the swing-arm - which allow it to be positioned in various ways, and has a reach of 93cm. This minimalist wall light is made from metal with a black lacquer finish, brass and a red paper perforated lampshade. Although the shade isn’t original to the piece, it dates from the 1950s, and has a wonderful patina giving off a soft warm glow, whilst being a highly functional task lamp. There are age-related marks to the arm and shade, as would be expected for a piece of this age. The lamp reaches 93cm fully extended, the shade is 23cm in diameter and 18cm high. The wall bracket is 18cm high by 7cm wide. Professionally rewired.
