AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Splendid and fascinating antique ministerial table and desk lamp produced by the well-known Italian brand Lariolux, an authentic icon of industrial design and Italian mid-century modernism dating from the late 1940s to the 1950s.

The item features a solid heavy metal base, an elegant central stem adorned with a turned wooden handle and an orientable diffuser made of lightweight aluminum, completed by an upper metal joint that allows comfortable adjustment of the light’s inclination.

Equipped with two screw joints for adjustments, it can slide along its vertical axis to achieve various settings.

The lamp is fitted with its original integrated switch in the base and the characteristic period braided electrical cord, about two meters long and without a plug, as well as the original internal lamp holder (E27 socket).

Overall dimensions are 34 cm in height, 13.5 cm in width, and 26 cm in depth, with a base diameter of 13.5 cm, a diffuser diameter of 13.5 cm, and a weight of about 1.4 kg.

The item presents generally good original condition, showing normal signs of wear and small scratches on the paint and metal parts that attest to its era and authenticity.

It has been deliberately cleaned only superficially, leaving to the buyer the choice of a deeper cleaning/polishing.

Please carefully examine all the detailed photographs that are an integral part of the description. Structurally solid, it retains the original vintage electrical system, which requires servicing or upgrading with a plug for safe use before operation.

A must-have piece for collectors of industrial design, urban lofts, and characterful vintage furnishings.

Tracked shipping and careful packaging
