Wall-mounted pantograph lamp from the 1950s/60s
A specimen of scissor/pantograph wall lamp of Italian manufacture dating from the mid-20th century (1950s/60s). The piece perfectly embodies the Milanese modernist aesthetic of the period, recalling in its material choices and shapes the famous Stilnovo productions. The lamp is composed of an extendable and orientable brass arm. The diffuser is a conical metal lampshade enamelled in red, adjustable thanks to the upper brass joint.
The item presents itself in good vintage structural and aesthetic condition. The pantograph mechanism moves smoothly. There are light and widespread signs of wear on the lacquer of the lampshade and partial natural oxidation on the brass parts, which enhances its authenticity and historical patina.

Lampada da parete estensibile a pantografo Anni '50/'60
Esemplare di lampada da parete a forbice/pantografo di manifattura italiana risalente alla metà del XX secolo (Anni '50/'60). L'oggetto incarna perfettamente l'estetica del modernariato milanese del periodo, richiamando per scelta di materiali e forme le celebri produzioni di Stilnovo. La lampada è composta da un braccio estensibile e orientabile in ottone. Il diffusore è un paralume conico in metallo smaltato rosso, orientabile grazie allo snodo superiore in ottone.
L'oggetto si presenta in buone condizioni strutturali ed estetiche vintage. Il meccanismo a pantografo scorre regolarmente. Sono presenti lievi e diffusi segni di usura sulla laccatura del paralume e una parziale ossidazione naturale sulle parti in ottone che ne valorizza l'autenticità e la patina storica.
