Burgundy Bauhaus Style Adjustable Desk Lamp, Italy, 1930s-1950s

A characterful Italian Bauhaus-style desk lamp from the interwar period, featuring a domed burgundy-lacquered aluminium shade with a row of perforated dot details, mounted on an adjustable brass arm with a knurled pivot joint and a weighted cast iron base in matching lacquer. The sculptural simplicity of the form and the deep oxblood tone of the finish give the piece a modernist authority that reads beautifully as a desk lamp or architectural accent object. A rare and collectible example of Italian industrial design from its most inventive era.
