The adjustable lampshade, made of white molded acrylic/methacrylate, features a distinctive protruding semi-spherical dome shape that diffuses a warm, direct light, perfect for reading or working at a table.
A thin, angled chrome-plated metal rod extends diagonally, evoking the light and balanced figure of a dragonfly. The stem rotates on the base, and the lampshade itself can be adjusted.
Clamp mounting system: Black die-cast metal screw-clamp base designed to be securely attached to the edge of desks, tables, or shelves without taking up space on the work surface.
The original period label is clearly visible on the lampshade cap, a key element in certifying the authenticity and provenance of this modern antique piece.
The clamp has textural irregularities, as shown in the photo.
