Say it with me now, quintessential atomic table lamp. This sputnik-era lamp is made of 3 pieces of rock-solid acrylic, with the main feature being the big, bright red beauty on the bottom. Featuring tapered arrow shapes stacked on top of one another, I've never seen anything like this before. The base is acrylic and has rubber pads, and the top two pieces are clearly glass. It is HEAVY!
Condition: Great. One chip to the bottom base, message me for a picture. Works like a gem. I truly think that the crackled interior is not crazing, but intentional in the design. Some patina to the interior which is likely from the metal aging over time. It is missing the finial.
Everything from My Home on Mars has been professionally cleaned and restored, and ships with a care sheet specific to the material and time period of each piece. Most things require no special maintenance, but a simple list of "do's and don'ts" ensures your item maintains its condition for years to come.
In addition to being a vintage dealer, I am a USPAP-compliant personal property appraiser. Part of that job, separate from this one, is determining the value and authenticity of every piece I examine. I'm proud to bring that high standard of ethics, expertise, and research skills to My Home on Mars, allowing peace of mind for all my customers.
