balljoint - Anything In Particular https://anythinginparticular.co.uk/product-tag/balljoint/ From antique to vintage, from decorative to downright bizarre.

The most notable features of this lamp are the Anglepoise-style shade design (basically the shade looks very much like a smaller version of the 1227 Anglepoise shade), the curved armatures which are connected to each other and to the shade fitting by no less than four ball and socket joints, and the large ball and socket joint which attaches the arm to the base, allowing for more positioning freedom. It all makes for flexibility of adjustment in a very small package.  A white push button to the base switches the lamp on and off.

There are signs of age and wear throughout, but the overall condition is very good. Expect some surface losses to the chrome and some minor scrapes and dings to it, however.

The lamp measures approximately 46cm (18 in.)  in height at its fullest extent, with a base diameter of 13cm (5 in.) and a base height of 2cm (¾ in.). The wiring has been renewed, but as with all electrical items an inspection and safety test (PAT in the UK) is recommended. The lamp currently has a complementary gold-coloured cable the length of which is approximately 150cm (59 in.)

In full working condition and with original contrasting red switch, the lamp has bags of character and a striking design. Almost certainly originally made in continental Europe (German or French, possibly), and dating from at least as far back as the 1950s, the lamp has general signs of age and use throughout (including some minor dents to the shade). It has not been restored since the patina adds so much to its appeal, but it has been carefully cleaned.

The curved arm measures approximately 25cm (10 in.) in length and the lamp stands at a maximum height of 41cm (16 in.) with the arm positioned vertically. The base is 15cm (5½ in.) in diameter with a height of 2.5cm (1 in.). The shade is 15cm (6 in.) in length with an aperture diameter of 13cm (5 in.). The bulb holder is a large bayonet style and the lamp currently has a cable of approximately 120cm (47 in.) length. The underside of the base has an opening for wall-mounting the lamp. The wiring has been renewed, but as with all electrical items, an inspection and safetly test in your own environment (PAT testing in the UK) is recommended.
