Vintage Art Deco Streamline Desk Lamp Attributed to Art Specialty Company, Chicago | c. 1930s–1940s This substantial vintage desk lamp features a long curved metal shade paired with a sculptural stepped base—an iconic Streamline Moderne silhouette associated with American Art Deco design of the late 1930s and 1940s. Finished in its original brown enamel, the lamp has a strong architectural presence, with clean horizontal lines and a weighted base designed for stability. The articulated gooseneck arm allows for directional lighting, making it both visually striking and highly functional. The shade is fitted with original push-button controls, a hallmark detail seen on period office and library lamps produced in Chicago during this era. While unmarked, the form, construction, and switch configuration closely align with documented examples by Art Specialty Company, a well-known Chicago manufacturer of professional and institutional lighting. Ideal for a desk, credenza, or library table, this lamp works beautifully in Art Deco, industrial, mid-century, or classic office interiors. The lamp is currently fitted with dual fluorescent tube bulbs, providing bright, even illumination. Many Streamline Moderne desk lamps of this type were updated mid-century for fluorescent lighting, particularly for office and drafting use. The total height extended fully upright is 20”. The lowest height is 10”.
