ITEM: For your consideration we are presenting for sale a super cool vintage table lamp from the atomic era. Circa '50s. The lamp features a brass metal base with four wooden ball atomic feet. Attached to the base is a fiberglass cone that surround the light socket. On either side of the base is a ceramic insert. The undersides of each of these inserts are inscribed "Riviera, 50 USA" (see photos). The lamp has another square-shaped fiberglass shade that rests at the top. There is an on/off rotary knob switch that is located on the back side of the lamp. It's a great lamp that certainly screams '50s! It'll make a nice addition to any modern interior setting.

MEASUREMENTS: With the shade attached, the lamp stands approx. 15" tall x 16.5" wide x 16.5" deep. The metal base measures 13.5" wide x 7" deep. The two ceramic inserts each measure approx. 4.75" x 4.75" x 2.25" deep. The wooden ball feet each measure approx. 1" round.

CONDITION: Overall the lamp is in good condition. There are a few minor cosmetic things which we'll make mention of here. First off, one of the ceramic inserts has a very faint hairline crack running through it (see photos) - it isn't very blatant at all, but it is there. Next, the fiberglass shade material looks like it may have been painted over at one point in time to freshen it up. We're not 100% certain on that, but we wanted to mention it for accuracy. Aside from that, it's in great shape - no chips, breaks, burn marks, etc. The electrical wiring looks to be original, and is in great condition - no frays, splits, exposed or brittle wire. It displays very nicely! The lamp is being sold "as-is", and "as-described". Please ask any questions that you may have prior to purchasing, and we will respond back to you in a timely manner.
