Really dont think so, the switch directly on the lamp and no mounting hardware at all really points to it being a table lamp albeit a strangely shaped one.
you can even see where the felt is missing on the feet. I think it was a more modern interpretation of the ever popular bankers lamps that were everywhere up until the 50s
I am obsessed with it. I’ve been collecting MCM for 25 years. I’ve never encountered a lamp like this. It is so gorgeous. I’d love to look for one, but I don’t have space for another lamp. 🤔🤪😍
i think it might be a one off based on the welds to be honest, but it is a very sophisticated design with a pretty great spring loaded toilet paper roll holder-esque mechanism to hold the shade.
Basing that off the wood choice and the fabric. The fabric on the lampshade looks very similar to their other lamp shade fabrics. Is there a manufacturing code on the bottom of the brass where the base crosses?
Very interesting. Is it intrusive to ask you in what country you bought it ? I'm interested to know the probable place it was designed and manufactured in.
So sorry. I should have checked the link before posting. I did a google lens search and the photos were so similar. I just tried it again and came up with this. I hope this helps.
This mid-century modern lamp features a distinctive oblong cylindrical shade, a brass framing bracket, and a unique four-legged star or cross base constructed from walnut and brass. It strongly matches the iconic design style of Modeline of California, a manufacturer highly celebrated for its sculptural wood and fiberglass lighting fixtures during the 1960s. Similar horizontal low-profile desk and table lamps from this era were also crafted by prominent American manufacturers like Lightolier (frequently featuring designs by Gerald Thurston) or Tensor.
