1940's Italian Multi-Positional Chrome Desk Lamp

About the Item

Gorgeous high quality table or desk lamp in polished nickel plated brass from Italy, 1940s-1950s with a weighted round base and an enormous ball joint from which the sturdy stem can pivot ~140 x 360 degrees. The round domed mushroom head is also attached to the stem by a similar swivel joint so you are assured being able to position this lamp to provide you optimal lighting. Inside the shade is an S cluster with two E27 sockets each of which takes a standard size Edison screw cap bulb up to 75 watts each. Produced by Lariolux with the design often incorrectly attributed to Giovanni Michelucci. Push button on-off switch on base. This is a beautiful lamp that straddles the design periods of Art Deco and Mid-Century Modern. Lariolux lamp was presented in 1937 by the company Ottonameria Lecchese at the "Quarta Mostra Quinquennale di Lecco” (Fourth Quinquennial Exhibition of Lecco) Ottonameria Lecchese- Apparecchi illuminazione.
