{"product_id":"antique-brass-gooseneck-desk-lamp-fluted-25917","title":"Antique Brass Gooseneck Desk Lamp, Fluted Stepped Base — American, circa 1920s","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe gooseneck desk lamp answered a simple problem: a reading or writing surface needs light that can be aimed, not just cast. Through the 1920s, offices and studies across America filled with lamps built on exactly this principle — a curved arm rising from a weighted, stepped base, the socket angled down toward the page rather than fixed in place. The form owed as much to engineering as to decoration, and that honesty is part of its lasting appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis example, American, circa 1920s, follows the pattern closely. The arm rises in a single unbroken C-curve from a stepped, fluted rectangular base, terminating in an articulated socket joint that allows the light to be angled toward the work at hand. The base carries a raised fluted border along its edge — note how the flutes run only along the visible faces and stop cleanly at the corners, the kind of finishing detail that marks a lamp built for a proper desk rather than stamped out for volume. The metal has darkened evenly to a deep bronze-black patina consistent with age and handling. The lamp is sold as shown, without a shade, so that you may choose one suited to your own room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhoever kept this lamp at their desk for the better part of a century kept it well. The patina is even throughout, with light, honest wear to the joint and base consistent with regular use, and the arm moves freely on its hinge. It is ready for a desk, a reading table, or a study shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt arrives professionally packed and fully insured — we handle the paperwork and worldwide shipping, and for US customers we replace the wall plug with a US-compatible version at no charge. Returns are accepted within 30 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDETAILS:\u003cbr\u003e\nMaterials: cast and pressed metal, aged bronze-black patina\u003cbr\u003e\nStyle: American gooseneck desk lamp, circa 1920s\u003cbr\u003e\nLampshade not included\u003cbr\u003e\nCondition: antique condition; even patina with honest wear to hinge and base; arm articulates freely\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maison Jaspers","offers":[{"title":"EU","offer_id":59082388177241,"sku":"LGT-TBL-069","price":180.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"US","offer_id":59082388210009,"sku":"LGT-TBL-069","price":180.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1063\/5388\/5529\/files\/il_fullxfull.8310750311_hmdo.jpg?v=1787565999","url":"https:\/\/maisonjaspers.com\/products\/antique-brass-gooseneck-desk-lamp-fluted-25917","provider":"Maison Jaspers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
