Tripod reading lamp, France, 1950s

Elegant floor lamp with a sleek design characteristic of French furniture from the 1950s. The tripod base made of black lacquered tubular metal rises into a slender, curved neck resembling a swan, leading up to the lamp head. The conical pleated vinyl shade, in ivory/beige tones enhanced with fine coloured stripes, diffuses a warm and enveloping light. The brass fitting at the junction of the shade and arm adds a touch of refinement to the whole and allows for different orientations of the shade. Vintage piece in working condition, with a highly sought-after zoomorphic appearance in current retro decor. Height 160 cm Shade diameter 35 cm
