About the Item

Absolutely Gorgeous! Mid Century Articulating Swing Arm Reflecting Saucer Desk/Table Lamp Red & Cream Enamel Great vintage condition! 16" Tall by 20" Deep Here is a wonderful mid century modern swing arm lamp that really "pops"! A clean design that emphasizes ergonomics and a minimalist aesthetic! Arm swings permitting a reflecting saucer to provide light downwards towards a desk or table. These lamps were very popular with bankers, jewelers, students and anyone who needed good light without glare. This is an uncommonly nice example and presents beautifully and it has shrugged off the 70 years since its manufacture date! This lamp is extremely well manufactured to industrial quality standards. A splendid addition to your NY penthouse, Palm Springs atomic ranch or West Palm Beach estate!
