An atmospheric piece combining bold geometric forms with rich dark tones characteristic of Art Deco.

The lamp features a distinctive combination of materials and forms - a square-section wooden stem with ebonised details transitions through a bold turned ebonised sphere to a dark-stained circular base resting on small ball feet. The adjustable telescopic upper section with original knurled brass screw mechanism allows for precise height positioning, reflecting the period's emphasis on practical, adaptable design. The contrast between the dark-stained wood tones and the geometric ebonised sphere creates a quietly dramatic visual presence.

The wood displays deep, rich patina developed over decades with age-appropriate surface wear that adds genuine character. Original adjustment mechanism functions smoothly.

A atmospheric piece from Scandinavian decorative arts period, with a distinctive dark palette that works beautifully in both period and contemporary interiors.
