Art Deco Articulating Desk Lamp (circa 1939 NYWF Style)

"The cover on the bottom of the base has been removed. There are signs that the electrical wiring has been replaced at some point in the past. There are small scratches throughout the lamp."

This elegant Art Deco desk lamp features a distinctive articulating design that combines visual appeal with practical functionality. The shade appears to have a textured white surface layered over a chestnut-colored base, creating a unique dimensional effect. Decorative brass-finished metal banding frames the shade, which is supported by an elegant V-shaped metal framework that allows it to be tilted and positioned at various angles.
The lamp exemplifies classic Art Deco design elements with its geometric shapes, decorative metalwork, and textured surfaces. The circular base matches the shade's textured finish and provides stable support for the articulating arm. All metal parts, including those with brass finish, respond to magnets, indicating they are likely steel with decorative plating rather than solid brass.
Inside the shade, a sun-ray pattern surrounds the E26/E27 socket, adding a quintessential Art Deco decorative touch. The lamp operates via a standard electrical cord and provides warm, directed illumination perfect for desks, side tables, or reading areas.
