Huge, perhaps one of a kind, vintage 1980's, 70's? plaster floor lamp - $229 (Prescott)
QR Code Link to This Post
The shade has been refinished in cobalt blue, and is now a blackout shade, with almost all light emitting from the top and bottom openings.
I'm thinking that this MCM lamp is from the 1980's, perhaps even the 1970's, because the original included shade came embellished with beaded tassels that were not popular beyond the mid-20th century.
The wave pattern runs from just under the top, wrapping around the lamp, and ending at the bottom.
The lamp, and the shade, began as a drab green. The hardware at the top was removed in order to refinish all of the plaster, as well as parts of the hardware.
The bottom area with the initials, which looks like MPPE, was left in its original state, which is clearly visible. The image of the bottom was taken before 8 new cushions were installed for floor protection.
Unlike most lamps, the cord emerges from the center of the lamp, allowing for the lamp to be displayed in any position.
Approximate dimensions:
53" tall to the top of the plaster
66" tall to the top of the original ball finial
17" diameter base
13" at the widest part of the trunk
6.5" at the narrow part of the trunk
10' cord
It weighs a minimum of 50lbs.
The lamp can take a 3-way bulb if desired
Shade dimensions:
11 3/4" tall
27.5" bottom diameter
