White machine lamp dates to the early 20th century and retains all the character that makes the company’s work so collectible. Built for factory and drafting use, the lamp features O.C. White’s signature cast-iron joints, knurled adjustment knobs, and a fully articulating arm that allows precise positioning.
The shade is original to the fixture, with a wonderfully aged surface and a classic early-electric silhouette. The lamp can be used as a desk light or mounted to the wall using its original hardware, making it versatile for both functional and decorative applications. The twisted cloth cord adds a warm period-correct detail, complementing the honest patina throughout the metalwork.
