Articulated tripod lamp base in brass, Arts & Crafts style, in the manner of.

Tripod lamp base in brass with an articulated structure, resting on three angular feet characteristic of the Arts & Crafts aesthetic. The central shaft is extended by an adjustable arm mounted on a ball joint, allowing use as a desk lamp or wall sconce depending on the angle. Characteristic construction of English functionalist lighting from the late 19th century, in direct lineage with Benson. The whole presents a homogeneous old patina, highlighting the cast brass. Articulated brass tripod lamps appear in the Arts and Crafts movement, where functionality takes precedence over ornamentation. Benson develops modular lighting, often in brass, influenced by an almost industrial logic. This model fits within this stylistic lineage, but without marking, it should be considered as a production within this movement rather than a certain attribution. ________________________________________ Technical details: • Designer: In the style of William Arthur Smith Benson. • Manufacturer: Unidentified. • Period: circa 1900-1930. • Materials: Brass. • Finish: Patinated brass. ________________________________________ Dimensions: • Height: 30 cm (11.8 in) • Width: 21 cm (8.3 in) • Depth: approx. 21 cm (8.3 in) • Weight: 1 kg. ________________________________________ Condition: Good overall condition.
