This scissor-arm wall lamp from the 1920s–1930s exemplifies Czechoslovak industrial modernism in a wall-mounted form. The construction features an extendable, accordion-style arm made of lacquered steel in a deep, matte black, with subtle satin reflections across the surface. The hemispherical lampshade is crafted from black ebonite, smooth and slightly textured, and incorporates an integrated rotary switch at the top. The arm can be adjusted in length (from 46 to 120 cm) and the angle of both the shade and the arm itself can be changed, allowing precise control of the light direction. Brass screws at the joints serve both a functional and decorative role, bringing out the lamp's utilitarian character. The robust wall plate with exposed screw holes reinforces the industrial aesthetic, while the cool, muted black palette unites the piece. The lamp is preserved in very good condition, with only minor signs of wear typical for its age—no dents, cracks, or visible restoration.Behind this lamp lies the voice of early twentieth-century ambition: an era when machines, steel, and ebonite defined a new rhythm of daily life. The raw geometry and honest materials evoke the spirit of pre-war workshops, where light needed to be reliable and enduring
