About the Item
Elegant and functional, this large telescopic wall light was designed by Arlus in France during the 1950s.
It features a black lacquered cast aluminium structure (original paint), with a telescopic arm and wall-mounting system in polished gilt brass, complete with original screws. The shade is made of black lacquered steel, and a counterweight system allows easy height adjustment. The arm is fully extendable and directional.
Dimensions:
Total length (fully extended): approx. 120 cm / 47.2 in
Length (retracted): approx. 70 cm / 27.6 in
Shade diameter: 25 cm / 9.8 in
Height adjustment range: approx. 50–100 cm / 19.7–39.4 in
Very good vintage condition, with minor wear visible on the counterweight and lampshade (see photos).
The wiring has been completely redone and is up to current standards.
A rare and sophisticated piece that combines French mid-century design with practical adjustability—ideal for reading nooks, living rooms, or above a desk.
