Vintage floor lamp

A new buy and looks to me from the fifties/sixties and is made from a steel welded frame with a polyester inside covering . So who knows more and could this be a one time off from artist ?And maybe some links to the model like this shown in the internet ? Thanks

 

Think your dating a bit early. More likely to be 1980s.

I don't know about dating, but search term that might help is "shoji screen lamp" (edit: although the welded steel seems a bit off for shoji screen inspired...)

 

Given scale, I think it may fall into the "post-modern" category. (Inspired by shoji screens, of course.)

Can you please post a picture of the plug and electrical wire (if these appear to be original to the lamp).

 

Will be done tomorrow . Heavy lamp also

 

It is give a direction in how to name this lamp in shape so thanks

 

As already noted, this appears to be a newer lamp.
I can see this working with several different decorating styles.
MCM
Arts and Crafts
Modern Minimalist.

 

I agree with 1980s Shoji (Japanese screen) style.

 

It's cool-looking though, and would fit right into a Mid-century interior. There was a huge Japanese influence at that time too.

 

That's what it looks like with two working lights in it . Three is the amount in it but have to dismantle it to put in a new bulb .

 

cool....!

 

Here's the plug and switch from the lamp and think now if original the lamp is maybe Italian en 70/80 time .

 

Plug and switch certainly look -- to my eye -- older than the 1980s. And rather than "polyester," are you sure the lining isn't fiberglass?

i luv the plug......more info than i've ever seen...

 

I agree with Debora that it looks like fiberglass. Here in the States I have never seen anything like that plug and switch - that's a job for the folks across the pond.

 

Youre right about the fibreglass . My mistake to call it polyester . But any link on the switch maybe to determine the age maybe more ?

 

Plug and switch look mid-1960s to mid-1970s to me. And I spent a lot of time in Europe in those years. But not my area of expertise (if I have one at all.)

Debora

 

That's definitely a European plug; it wouldn't fit in an American outlet.

 

Does the plug say Italy?
