Item Description

This rare mid-century table lamp from Eastern Europe beautifully balances utilitarian design with sculptural presence. The base, crafted from richly toned Bakelite, provides a warm, organic foundation, while the mold-blown glass shade adds texture and softness, diffusing light into a gentle, ambient glow. Originally created in the 1950s, the lamp reflects the ingenuity of postwar Eastern European design, where durable modern materials like Bakelite were paired with traditional glassmaking techniques. The result is an object that is both practical and timelessly elegant. Compact in scale yet visually striking, this lamp works beautifully as an accent on a desk, bedside table, or console, lending character and understated sophistication to any setting. Its combination of authentic vintage materials and restrained form makes it appealing to both design collectors and interior decorators. Period: Circa 1950s Origin: Eastern Europe Materials: Bakelite, Mold-Blown Glass Pair available, priced individually. In excellent working order, pictured one off and one on, to show the difference.
