Vintage 1950's Art Specialty Co. Goose Neck Desk Lamp MCM 17 in Works

This is a vintage 1950s Art Specialty Co. Goose Neck Desk Lamp. It is 17 inches in height. The lamp has a classic Mid-Century Modern (MCM) style, characterized by clean lines and a functional design. The base is rectangular with rounded edges and tapers upwards into a curved neck that supports the elongated rectangular shade. The lamp appears to be constructed primarily of metal, likely steel or aluminum, with a finish that resembles wood grain, a common technique during the period to simulate wood. The color is a warm, reddish-brown. The shade has ribbed detail at the ends. A rocker switch for on/off control is visible near the top of the base. The overall condition appears good, with visible patina consistent with age. No significant damage such as dents or deep scratches are immediately apparent, although closer inspection would be needed for a full assessment. The lamp includes its original cord and plug. Maker's marks are not visible in the provided image, but context suggests it is an Art Specialty Co. product. The goose neck design allows for adjustability in directing light. This particular lamp is noted as being in working condition, which is a significant factor for vintage electronics.
