the lamp features its original grey/green lacquered aluminium shade and matching circular base, complemented by a beautifully figured solid teak support and an adjustable brass gooseneck. The flexible brass arm allows the shade to be positioned precisely, making the lamp ideal as a desk lamp, bedside reading light or accent lamp.

unlike many surviving examples, this lamp retains its original factory paint, preserving the authentic character and colour intended by the manufacturer. The circular metal base incorporates a concealed weighted iron insert for excellent stability and features the original integrated push-button switch.

the white enamelled interior of the shade provides excellent light reflection, while the perforated ventilation holes around the top of the shade aid heat dissipation and create a subtle decorative detail.
