Astonishing cylindrical lamp of excellent craftsmanship. Circa 1950. Works, new socket, see photo of the original socket. The switch is signed Ticino made in Italy. Good general condition, usual traces of use, slight oxidation. Chips on the glass but fortunately invisible when it is placed in the ribbed metal cylinder, the screw in the same ribbed metal is used to tighten the glass tube. The lamp, old by its components seems avant-garde for its time. Height 33.5cm. Length 9.5cm. Width 6cm. A truly exceptional piece.
