About the Item

Pair of "Ministeriale" adjustable table/task lamps combining Industrial and Modernist styles by Seminara (Turin, Italy, ca. 1960s). Composed of gunmetal gray painted metal shades and bases supported by chromed-metal arms. Various adjustment options - arms and shades can be raised/lowered. Moderate wear from use - scuffs to shades and bases, as shown, along with a smattering of paint spots to one of the bases. Remain sleek, practical pieces loaded with Italian character. Slight differences between the two, most notably one lamp's arm can adjust further back than the other. They are both roughly the same size. Original Italian socket, wiring, and plug accepting an E27 bulb (plug will be changed for US use, unless otherwise requested). Dimensions reflecting the shade positioned horizontally, parallel to the base as in the primary image: H: 17.63" x L: 14" x D: 10" Shade dimensions: L: 10" x D: 9.63" Base dimensions: H: 1.25" x L: 8.25" x D: 5.25" Branded "Seminara."
