The most distinctive feature of this lamp is the reflector globe made of tinted glass. The glass luminaire body reveals the inner workings, the funnel-shaped reflector and the cylindrical aluminum lampholder cover. The aluminum funnel is flush with the lower opening of the glass and is separated by a circumferential gap. The light primarily goes directly downward. Some of the light exits laterally from holes in the reflector. The glass spheres lie loosely in a chrome ring connected to the wall mounting plate. This allows you to manually adjust the direction of light from the fixture. I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs,
