Mid Century Modern Lamp By Majestic Very Good Cond. 3 - Way Switch RARE
Item History & Price
Reference Number: Avaluer:142317 | Style: Mid-Century Modern |
Circa mid-1950's, this exquisite piece from Majestic is 100% original, (except for the bulbs, of course!) and is an imposing addition to any living or work space. With three beautifully patterned, stitched shades, each at a distinct level, it ceases to become simply an art piece and assumes the role of perfect mood lighting at the flip of its satisfying turning switch, located on its finely painted hardwood b...ase. Each click of the switch cycles you through three different lighting options (all illuminated, side two only, top only).
I paid nearly $2500 for this at an estate sale upstate a year and a half ago, and try as I might, I have been unable to find its duplicate anywhere, so it is fully possible it is now one of a kind. I really don't want to part with it, but the new tax law has me scrounging for funds.
Construction is brass, hardwood (base), with the shades consisting of a stiff fabric/nylon composite wrapped neatly around a minimal wire frame. Base has fine vintage felt pad permanently attached ensuring safe use with fine furniture surfaces.
The only sign of age is on the stitching of the shades, which only have minimal/slight wear to the stitching on top. A few of the stitches have broken, as the leather string is brittle. Otherwise lamp is in truly excellent condition.
Shades are approx 5 inches high and 12.5 inches in diameter.
Lamp is 34 inches long by 27 inches high.
Cord is just over 6 feet long.
