About the Item

Polished aluminum table lamp with inset frosted glass shade by Oscar Torlasco for Lumi (Italy, ca. 1960s). Ingenious design, marrying form and function designed with a useful adjustability function without compromising style. Specifically, there is a metal bracket at the top of the stem, enabling the socket/shade component to adjust, allowing the light to be directed in any direction. We have three available - each sold separately. This example is in the best condition of the three, showing only light wear (some smudging to the shade's interior, paint loss to the triple socket along with light, small scuffs to the aluminum and one faint impression from a label/sticker to the side of the shade). All minor and commensurate with age and use. Note that this lamp is not present in the video - the other two examples are used to demonstrate the illumination/adjustability function and point out wear to a different lamp. Original Italian sockets, wiring, and plug (plug will be changed for US use, unless otherwise requested). H: 17.5" x Diameter: 13.13" Base dimensions - H: 5" x Diameter: 7" OT2
