AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Vintage brass and burgundy metal clamp lamp – Italy, 1950s
Fascinating Italian-made desk or clamp lamp (vise-style) from the 1950s, fully in the modernist and industrial style. The piece is distinguished by the refined color combination of the burnished brass frame and the elegant burgundy/granate lampshade.
The adjustable diffuser features a duck-bill asymmetric line typical of Italian design of the era (contemporary with Stilnovo, Lamperti, and Arredoluce productions), with a matte light interior for optimal light diffusion. Equipped with a double articulating arm and a friction-based adjustable mechanism that works perfectly to set tilt and reach.
The brass mounting clamp incorporates the original plastic push-button switch from the period.
Excellent vintage condition overall. The electrical system is original to the era and fully functional (tested, it lights up regularly). The metal and paint show a beautiful historical patina consistent with age and use, authenticating its originality and timeless charm. No major dents on the diffuser.
Dimensions:
• Maximum length with arms extended: 47 cm
• Lampshade length: 13 cm
• Depth: 8 cm
