This piece embodies the "Task Lighting" revolution of the 1910s, featuring a heavy weighted base with a flexible brass gooseneck arm that holds its position perfectly. The Details: The Socket: Stamped clearly with the "HUBBELL" hallmark and features the highly desirable, iconic acorn-style pull chain. The mechanical action is crisp, satisfying, and fully functional. The Shade: Includes a period-correct clear ribbed/pleated glass shade. The glass is in excellent condition with no major chips or cracks, providing a beautiful diffused light perfect for a library or office setting. Condition & Patina: We have chosen not to polish this lamp. It retains its deep, honest "estate patina" that collectors of antiquarian items and "Cabinet of Curiosities" decor prefer. There is minor pitting on the base consistent with 100+ years of age, which adds to its historical character. Wiring: The lamp has been updated at some point with a vintage-style brown cord and a white inline dimmer thumb switch for safety and convenience. It is "plug-in ready." Historical Significance: Hubbell components were the gold standard of the era, often used by premium manufacturers like Faries, McFaddin, and O.C. White. This lamp is a "hero piece" for anyone looking to complete a turn-of-the-century office restoration or to accent a collection of 19th-century leather-bound volumes.
