Vintage Art Deco’Machine Age’ desk set comprising lamp, clock, trinket box/cigarette case, and a pen holder with missing swivel part. In beautifully figured onyx or similar stone, with chrome plated metal components and trim. About 12″ long x 6″ deep x around 13 tall, height varies with the forward and back adjustment of the lamp. The clock having a hand wound mechanical movement, runs and stops, will require service or repair to be a reliable time keeper. The lamp works and has a long cord that may be an old replacement, the lamp fittings look original to me… See photo and judge for yourself. As you see the shade has a bulb burn, I have tilted it to clearly show that in the photos, it can easily be tilted back a bit as not to be so obvious. The chrome lamp arm swings/adjust and the shade tilts as well. There is a small chrome fitting on the right side of the base that I assume once held a swivel pen holder, these swivel pen holders are common with desk sets so should be easy enough to replace. What I’m calling a cigarette case may in fact simply be a storage box for paper clips or other desk accessories, it has a hinged lid as you see. The stone is quite nice with a couple of expected edge chips that are only noticeable upon close inspection, nothing detracting from the overall impression. This is a great Art Deco design desk set, and a good quality piece. I see no makers mark or country of origin.
