Desk lamp by Jean-Michel Wilmotte *, model Washington, in black lacquered metal, cylindrical base, semi-circular base, rounded swivel cap, from the 1980s to the 20th century.
This lamp is in its juice. It works (perhaps to be revised). This model was created in 1983 for the French Embassy in Washington and then published by Lumen Center Italia (it is no longer published in black lacquered metal, but in chromed metal).
To mention: some wear and lacquer shortages especially on the domed cap, traces of oxidation, scratches and wear of time, look at the pictures.
