High Grade Flex Arm Desk Lamp After Von Nessen

About the Item

Exceptional high grade flex arm desk lamp, after the iconic Von Nessen design. This example features a large disk base ( 11 in. Dia. ) with two arms ( 10.5 W ea. ) and a dome form hood shade ( 13 in. W x 3.75 in D ) it is constructed to commercial standards, possibly from an institution or other non residential establishment. The arms swivel, and flex and the shade swivels on one axis as well, to perfectly position the light as per your needs. We believe the lamp was probably made in Europe, most likely German, or possibly Danish, however it is unsigned. The lamp is currently in original white paint finish, there is a visible scratch on one side of the hood shade, please see detailed image. We have had the lamp rewired for US application, it accepts either a standard candle bulb, or can be adapted to a larger showcase bulb, please see images.. Bulbs and adapter are included in purchase.
