This is a highly collectible centerpiece of Mid-Century Modern lighting design. This iconic "flying saucer" cantilevered wall-mounted pendant lamp was designed by the legendary Gerald Thurston for Lightolier during the 1950s. It beautifully balances industrial innovation with warm, organic residential style.
Design Highlights:
* Classic Saucer Silhouette: Features the signature wide conical top shade in its original finish, paired with a beautiful, molded accordion-pleated plastic underside diffuser that casts a warm, soft ambient glow.
* Articulating Mechanics: The solid brass swing-arm mechanism extends smoothly to position light exactly where needed.
* Premium Materials: Accented with rich, solid walnut mount detailing and its original geometric weighted handle switch.
The lamp itself is in amazing condition no cracks or dents, it is in working order but as you can see a portion of the cord has frayed and Mild patina on the brass arm as expected for an authentic 70-year-old piece.
