Anette Library Light

Polished wall lamp with an arm that bends like a patient heron.

This Anette library light by Ralph Lauren in polished nickel is by Ralph Lauren. Metal lighting of this type is usually made from a brass or steel body that is plated, so the surface finish carries much of the character. Round stepped backplate in bright nickel-tone metal, joined to a long swinging arm with two pivot joints. Small key-like knobs at the joints adjust it. A wide conical shade with a flared rim hangs at the end. It is 6.75 inches long, 27.25 deep and 12 high.

Gleaming, jointed and ready to point at anything.
