A wonderful example of early 20th-century American industrial design, this all-metal desk lamp captures the essence of the Art Deco and Machine Age aesthetics. The iconic "flying saucer" or mushroom-style shade is not just a design statement; it is engineered to direct light efficiently onto a workspace. While the original manufacturer is unconfirmed without a maker's mark, the design is highly characteristic of quality pieces by companies such as Faries or the Sight Light Corporation.

The lamp has an aged original metal finish that highlights its history and durability. The condition is consistent with a genuine vintage piece, and it has been rewired with a new, period-appropriate cloth-covered twisted cord and plug, ensuring both functional safety and aesthetic integrity. This is a unique item for the discerning collector looking for a genuine piece of design history.
