AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This scissor-arm wall lamp has an unusual, “unique” design. It has a round mounting plate and an adjustable clamping joint with a wing nut just below the shade, rather than the more commonly found rectangular mounting plate and a shade attached to a fixed, flexible stem on the “scissors.”
It is not possible to say with certainty who manufactured and/or designed the lamp. It has no markings, but this particular example was brought from Germany to the Netherlands some time ago and was already old then.

The original cord has an additional switch and a more recent plug. There is also a push-button switch on the mounting plate. Both switches work.

Some minor signs of use on the shade and a few scratches around the mounting holes.
The dimensions range from 30 cm to 65 cm.
The shade is 15 cm long and has a diameter of 11.5 cm.
