The lamp features a spun metal cone shade and matching base, both finished in a soft, original mint green (pastel) lacquer that evokes the optimism of the post-war era. The shade is detailed with a characteristic rim of perforated vertical slits, which allows light to escape in a decorative pattern, adding warmth and visual interest to the piece even when illuminated. It is supported by a curved solid brass rod, contrasting beautifully with the pastel paint. A distinct brass finial creates a refined finish at the top of the shade. Functional and stylish, the lamp features a push-button switch conveniently integrated into the base. It is an ideal size for a bedside table, small desk, or as a shelf accent, bringing a touch of 1950s design history to any interior. The item is in Good vintage condition.
