Art Deco steel desk lamp, adjustable, dating from around 1930 in France.
AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Adjustable Art Deco desk lamp
France, circa 1930
Beautiful Art Deco desk lamp with an architectural silhouette and clean lines, characteristic of French modernism between the wars. The finely articulated metal structure allows precise adjustment of the height, orientation, and tilt of the reflector, offering both user comfort and formal elegance.
The hemispherical lampshade in polished metal diffuses light in a targeted manner, while the brass fixing elements add a subtle warm touch, contrasting with the geometric rigor of the overall design.
The lamp rests on a beige veined marble base, cut in a pentagonal shape, providing stability and a sculptural presence to the object. The natural richness of the marble, with ochre and pinkish veins, highlights the Art Deco taste for noble materials and contrasting textures.
Both functional and decorative, this lamp perfectly exemplifies the Art Deco aesthetic, where movement engineering serves the purity of lines and modern elegance.
Era: around 1930
Origin: France
Materials: metal, chrome, beige marble.
Function: adjustable desk lamp / table lamp
Condition: good overall condition
