French modernist lamp made in the 1950's , by Jean Louis Domecq , It is the original design , other extension can be added to extend the arms using the same principle. The particularity of the connection is the direct contact inside which does not required wires so it can be manipulated in any shape or form desired , all the moving part possibly moving at a 180 % angle . Here is a1 arms which was usually the size of a table lampe next to a 2 arms ( add 16" for each arm).It can be use as a sconce using the original connector or mounted as a desk lamp (presently on a cast iron base) .While it has been cleaned I left its original patina . It can be chromed if desired but I found it more interesting that way. The name came from his initial J. L. D , searching for a reliable and practical lamp to equip the machines in his workshop, Jean-Louis Domecq designed and constructed his own creative version . I have other in original condition if desired .Please scroll down if you want more info.
