About the Item

An iconic example of Space Age design, this table lamp features a dramatic hourglass silhouette in polished brass. The central focal point is a black enameled "birdcage" or wire-urn element that adds a graphic, architectural layer to the warm metallic finish. The lamp is anchored by a weighted black conical base and is topped with its original parchment-style drum shade, which provides soft, diffused ambient light. Its sophisticated mix of materials makes it a quintessential collector’s piece for a Mid-Century Modern interior.
