AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This lamp embodies the functional elegance of the Art Deco movement, reinterpreted as a collector's item with retro-futuristic charm.
With its brilliant chrome finish, clean lines on the upper dome, and slender body culminating in a stable base, each curve emphasizes a sophisticated, graphic silhouette. The upper element pivots, allowing you to direct the light by tilting the top to the left or right, offering versatility and a refined interplay of light and shadow.
Condition and technical specifications
Original switch preserved on the base, a testament to authenticity and period.
The reflective interior is in perfect condition, without any trace of oxidation, which guarantees a clear light reproduction and remarkable preservation for an antique piece.
Electrical outlet replaced for modern safety, while respecting the original aesthetics.
Visible wear and patina on the chrome surface, legitimate signs of a lamp close to a century old, which add character without altering its beauty or functionality.
The shape, the choice of polished metal, and the swiveling mechanism are characteristic of Art Deco lamps and industrial productions from the early decades of the 20th century. This type of object frequently appears in catalogs and specialized sales dedicated to Art Deco lighting and vintage chrome pieces. The geometric silhouettes and the combination of functionality and decoration align with the references of collections and retailers specializing in period lighting. Comparable examples, offered as Art Deco swiveling chrome lamps, regularly appear on vintage collectors' markets and platforms.
Mechanical elegance and a patina of history. This chrome swivel lamp offers a sculptural presence and precisely directed light. Retaining its original switch and pristine reflector interior, it combines authenticity and functionality. The modernized plug ensures safe use, while the natural patina tells the story of nearly a century of use and elegance. An ideal piece for an interior that celebrates understated luxury and Art Deco aesthetics.
