Rare Vintage Ferris Shacknove Iron Metal Tripod Lamp Mid Century Modern Atomic Era 50s 60s

Item: For your consideration we are presenting for sale a seldom seen atomic tripod lamp designed by Ferris-Shacknove. Circa '50 / '60s. The lamp base is constructed of iron with small wooden atomic ball feet. The shade is constructed of textured cotton over paper. We have included an advertisement from an old Furniture Forum catalog for reference (see photo). It's a stylish atomic lamp that'll look fantastic in any mid century modern setting!

Measurements: With the shade attached, the lamp stands approx. 21" tall. The shade alone measures approx. 7" tall x 16" in diameter. The distance from the bottom of the base to the light socket measures approx. 13" tall. The distance between each of the atomic ball feet measures approx. 9" in length.

Condition: Overall, give its age, we'd say the lamp is in very good condition. Aside from the light bulb socket being a little loose and needing some tightening, the base is free from having any issues. It is structurally solid, and displays very nicely. The shade is original to the lamp. It has some minor faint areas of discoloration (possibly old moisture marks or something of that nature). We have not attempted to clean the shade in any manner, so we are uncertain as to whether or not they'll come out. The shade can easily be turned to have those marks facing the back (see photos). The electrical wiring looks to be original to the lamp, and it is in good condition - no frays, splits, exposed or brittle wires. The lamp is in fully-functioning, working condition. As with all vintage lighting, we always strongly recommend having a licensed electrician inspect the wiring prior to long-term use. The lamp is being sold "as-is" - if you have questions, we do encourage you to ask them before purchasing, and we will respond back to you in a timely manner. All sales are final. Please bid with confidence.
