Reading Lamp in Mahogany and Gold Brass with Articulated Arm and Tripod Base

This reading lamp features a turned mahogany shaft, accented with rings of gilded brass and topped with a finely chiseled pine cone finial. The articulated arm, adjustable in height along the shaft and finished with a drop-shaped finial, allows for precise light orientation. The whole rests on an elegant tripod base in brass with saber legs. The black conical shade with a gold interior diffuses a warm light. The combination of mahogany and gilded brass, the tripod base, and the pine cone are part of the English neoclassical repertoire updated in the 1970s, in the spirit of library lamps from grand decorative houses. Condition report: Good overall condition. Mahogany with a beautiful patina, uniform gilded brass. A warm reading lamp, perfect next to an armchair in a library or office.
