Magnificent 1950s Majestic Mid Century Lamp

Among American mid century lighting, one company stands out for its incredibly playful and over-the-top designs, and that is Majestic Lamp Co. of New York.  Very little is known about the company - we do know it was sold in 1963 - but their legacy lives on in their terrific (but very difficult to find) lamps.

This example features dual shades that are supported by a brass rod extending out of a thick plastic base.  The base and rod are in excellent vintage condition.

The original shades are made of a plastic-like material.  The threading on both shades is fraying a bit and should be repaired.  Please also note the small burn mark on the top of one shade.

The lamp works well and is ready to provide a "Wow!" factor to your decor.

28 1/2" tall, 28" wide, 14" deep.

SOLD.  Thanks, Harold @ Surrey, British Columbia - Canada!
