Pair of Brass Floor Reading Lamps with Articulated Arm and Shade. Work

Each reading lamp features a tubular body in gilded brass, accented with turned rings, resting on a circular stepped base. The articulated gooseneck arm, mounted on a double ball joint, allows for adjustable light direction. The conical grey velvet shades add a soft and contemporary touch to the whole. This model of articulated arm reading lamp, in the tradition of neoclassical library lamps, is characteristic of the work from the 1970s, which revived gilded brass in plush interiors. The pair, rarer than a single piece, facilitates symmetrical use. Condition report: Good overall condition. Brass with a beautiful gilded patina, velvet shades in good presentation condition. An ideal pair on either side of a sofa or bed, providing refined reading light.
