Anette Library Light

The adjustable sconce keeps its elbow out and its shade steady.

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. Bright metal sconce on a layered round mount, with a vertical bar and a diagonal swing arm. Ring-topped key screws mark both joints. The shade is a low, wide cone with a smooth reflective finish. It is 6.75 inches long, 27.25 deep and 12 high.

A reading lamp with quite a bit of posture.
