Another rather whimsical and uncharacteristic piece... This electric table lamp combined an ingenious mixture of natural and synthetic components. The iridescent shell of the nautilus, a marine cephalopod of the Pacific and Indian oceans, was pivoted to allow the shade to be raised to allow direct light or lowered, thus providing a more diffused light source (I. Hammerton, Op. cit. p, 144).
