This bold mid-century lamp is a true statement piece, combining sculptural form with authentic retro character. Its impressive base is crafted from a heavy gypsum composite, richly textured with raised geometric motifs, linear markings, and atomic-era-inspired symbols. Finished in warm bronze and copper tones with subtle hints of deep red, the base has an almost architectural presence, instantly evoking classic mid-century design.
The lamp is paired with a vintage shade that complements the base beautifully. The shade is crafted from a moulded, ribbed plastic in a warm amber tone, finished with chrome-trim edges that give it a distinctly mid-century presence. It casts a soft, atmospheric glow that enhances the base’s intricate relief work and brings the entire piece to life.
A rare and charismatic find, this lamp adds sculptural drama to any interior—perfect for lounge spaces, reading corners, or collectors who appreciate true mid-century style with personality.

Note/Disclaimer:
Our images form part of the item/s description. Although every effort is made to refurbish our furniture to represent its original state best, it must be noted that most of the items we source date from the 1950s to the late 1970s. For this reason, and although restored, signs of their vintage condition & age might still be visible. We will normally point out any visible/notable concerns. Take note of all photos or view the item in-store prior to purchasing.
