Articulated desk lamp, notary lamp, or piano lamp.

Here is a very nice desk lamp with beautiful, clean, and elegant lines, made of slightly patinated gold metal (probably brass, not magnetic in any case). It resembles the lamps once called notary lamps, but in a mid-century style with noble materials, nice finishes, and no unnecessary embellishments. By turning the small knob, you can rotate the head horizontally, and it also turns vertically (but you can't lock it there; it seems that's not intended as it unscrews the head). The appearance of the switch makes me think this lamp dates from the 70s or 80s. It has two bulb sockets (E14 bulb, small base, reduced format, like a hood bulb; you need fairly slender fingers to screw it into place). It is in very good condition: I tested it, it works, and the electrical system is perfectly functional. It is also in good aesthetic condition, with no deformations, just a few small scratches on the edges of the arm, not very visible, and on the base but not very noticeable as they are located on the rounded vertical edge. It has small fabric pads glued under the base by the previous owner, I imagine, which are fraying a bit. It measures about 30 cm in maximum height, the base has a diameter of 15 cm, the lampshade measures 32 cm in length, and it is about 35 cm in "depth" from the middle of the arm to the vertical line of the lampshade.
