The socket and base plate are made of copper, polished to a red-gold finish, which sets a warm contrast against the deep black of the stem. The opal glass scatters the light upwards towards the ceiling, so the room is lit indirectly and softly, with no glare source in the field of view. A pull switch with a brass chain operates the lamp directly at the head. At 77 cm high, this 1930s table lamp is large enough to serve as a light source for the whole living space on a sideboard or chest of drawers. Beside an armchair it becomes a reading corner. The French Mazda lamps of this type are regarded as Art Deco classics and have become rare in this size and with undamaged opal glass.
