Design for table lamp in polished metal and mirrored glass seen in elevation, profile, and plan. At lower left, elevation shows truncated, arch-shaped support in metal into which is set a mirrored glass globe; the lower section of the support is wider than its top. Upon the support extends a cylindrical rod and bulb holder’ it is not possible to determine the shade shape (round or rectilinear). At lower right the object is seen in profile: the globe’s depth is greater than the support but shallower than the shade. At top left, a plan from below reveals the depth of the support to be 3” with the globe mounted asymmetrically into its base. Margins ruled in graphite with object materials and dimensions indicated in the same.
