The wood follows the contours of the central form and is framed by sweeping metal edges, creating the distinctive combination of organic curves and architectural geometry associated with Laurel’s mid-century lighting.

The contrast between the rich walnut and warm metallic finish is particularly beautiful, while the elongated silhouette gives the lamp a wonderfully sculptural, distinctly atomic Mid-Century Modern presence from every angle. A narrow pedestal rises from the unusual hexagonal base, creating an elegant profile characteristic of sophisticated American lighting of the period.

The design matches documented examples attributed to Laurel Lamp Company. This example is unmarked, and the attribution is therefore based on design rather than a surviving maker’s label.

A fantastic piece of mid-century lighting that works equally well as a functional table lamp or sculptural decorative object. See less
