This model showcases a warm brown base, brass arms and fittings, and grasscloth-wrapped cone shades—a classic Thurston material pairing that brings both texture and sophistication to any space.

The lamp includes a single three-way switch on the base, allowing you to illuminate one cone or both, perfect for working, reading, or creating ambient mood lighting. Both cone shades swivel, and the articulated brass arms offer directional adjustability.

The wiring appears to be original and is fully functional. One of the brass arms shows evidence of an older repair—there is a clear coating or adhesive at the lower joint—but the arm remains stable, fully movable, and does not affect the lamp’s use or display.

A standout addition to any mid-century, modernist, or eclectic interior—this Thurston Lightolier piece adds instant character, elegance, and authentic mid-century charm.

Measurements:
18" height x 26" width x 9" depth (the dimensions change as the arms are moved)
