Folky Mid-Century "Automium" Model Lamp

About the Item

This interesting lamp was home made by a person who visited the 1958 Worlds fair in Brussels. After being so impressed by the signature structure "The Automium" (see tear sheet attached) he decided to make a lamp in it's image. Neat architectural concept piece, working, clean and ready to use, shade not included. Height to top of socket 15" I believe it is maple, chestnut and brass.
