AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Desk lamp with integrated ashtray – Bauhaus / Art Deco – chrome metal – circa 1940–1960.

Elegant and functional desk lamp inspired by Bauhaus / Art Deco, crafted entirely in high-quality chrome metal. It is a characteristic piece of mid-20th-century European industrial design, where aesthetics and functionality combine in a harmonious way.

The lamp features a sturdy structure with a heavy circular base, integrating a practical built-in metal ashtray, a very representative element of desk lamps from the era, designed for offices, study rooms, or smoking environments.

The curved tubular arm provides dynamism and visual balance, supporting an orientable semi-spherical/conical shade, designed to direct light efficiently, ideal for reading or work.

In very good vintage condition, with light signs of use consistent with age (small surface marks on the chrome).

The set is clean, bright, and well preserved.
