Title: Vintage Floor lamp
Post by: gerspee on September 04, 2018, 08:42:58 AM

A new buy and looks to me from the fifties/sixties and is made from a steel welded frame with a polyester inside covering . So who knows more and could this be a one time off from artist ?And maybe some links to the model like this shown in the internet ? Thanks

Maybe even '70s. Definitely mid-century looking.

It's made off Fibreglass so my mistake to call it polyester . Here are the inside and the switch and power plug from the lamp . And with the light burning in the evening and looks good .

AAAAHHH, it's European, ……. I didn't think about that until I seen the a/c plug.

"DUH", ….… the clue t'was the "round" prongs on the plug.

And a new thing I have seen that the rusty bits and layer off paint has been protected later with a varnish like it looks . So to protect the original paint and rust damage of the make it look used ? If to protect I presume the lamp must be having some meaning and value to do that . So still from a known artist but not only with lamp design ? P1010764 (Medium).JPG
