Item: For your consideration we are presenting for sale a cool vintage atomic era table lamp with original matching fiberglass shades. Circa ’50s. Maker: Unknown. The base is constructed of metal. There are two curvy brass tubes which lead up to the two light sockets. Beneath the shades, but just above the round metal base, there is a round hollow cup that accommodate faux plants. The cup is also removable. The exterior color of the cup & base at the bottom are a pinkish color. There is a round ornate brass plate that is affixed to the top of the base at the bottom. The fiberglass shades are matching. Each is a beige color with thick gold & white brush strokes throughout (see photos). There is an on/off rotary knob switch that is located on the bottom base. It allows for 3-way functionality of the lamp: Either of the two sockets can be lit independently of the other, or a third twist of the rotary knob can allow for both sockets to be lit up at the same time. This groovy lamp will make a nice addition to any mid century modern or atomic-themed home! Measurements: With the fiberglass shades attached, the lamp stands approx. 29" tall x 18.5" wide. Each of the shades measures approx. 7" tall x 10" in diameter. The round planter cup measures approx. 4.5" tall x 5" wide x 5" deep. The bottom of the base at the bottom measures approx. 5.5" in diameter. Condition: Overall the lamp in in very good condition for its age. There is some scattered paint loss here & there - it can easily be touched up or left alone - we chose the latter. The inside of the removable metal plant cup shows some signs of surface rust (see photo) - again, this can easily be touched up or just left alone. If you are going to put faux plants inside it, you won’t even know the difference. The lamp could use a general cleaning. The metal components appear to be free from dents, dings, repairs, etc. The fiberglass shades are in very nice shape - they are free from rips, holes, tears, burn marks, etc. There are some light marks on the fiberglass material that are consistent with age, & they should come out with a gentle cleaning. The lacing appears to be original to the shades, & it is intact. The lamp is in fully-functioning, working condition. As with all vintage lighting, we always strongly recommend having a licensed professional inspect the item prior to long-term use. Being sold “as-is” - if you have questions, please ask them prior to purchasing, & we’ll be more than happy to answer them in a timely manner. Thanks for looking!
