A beautiful French Art Deco chrome swan-neck desk or table lamp (without shade), c.1920s-30s, with a large flat copper leaf together with four chrome balls screwed to the stem as decoration, measuring approximately 24.6cm in height and 12cm in diameter at the base. The lamp has been newly rewired, with new flex (approximately 3.25m long), push switch and UK plug, although the original brass BC lamp holder has been retained and is still in good working order. There is some age wear including numerous scratches and scuffs (there are deep scratches to each side of the leaf), a circle of scratching / indentation around the base of the stem (where the stem has been loose and the base of the leaf has scraped against the chrome), and an area of wear or discoloration to the base between the switch and the stem; a small jagged hole in the edge of the base plate (caused by an attempt to remove it in the past) has been covered with new green baize to the outside and insulating tape to the inside.
Please note that, since this is a vintage lamp, it is unlikely to conform to current regulations, and it is therefore sold as a decorative item only. We therefore recommend that this lamp is tested by a qualified electrician prior to use.
