Lawrence Peabody Lighting

Marvelous vintage MCM (Mid-Century Modern) table lamp by Lawrence Peabody from his Many Moods Collection for Sears & Roebuck comprised of #941 avocado leaf green cylindrical ceramic base and a white glass globe. Beautiful condition, keeping in mind that this is vintage and not new so will have signs of use and wear. It has its original wiring & socket and no outstanding flaws that we have detected. Please see photos and zoom in for details. We attempt to portray any imperfections. Circa, 1970’s. NOTE: The globe just sits on the top of the base so needs to be in a place where it is secure. Hey there!! Are you feeling a little “in the mood?” Well, get ready because you’re about to be in “Many Moods!” LOL… This is a STUNNING cylindrical green ceramic table lamp with a white glass globe designed by Lawrence Peabody for his Many Moods Collection for Sears & Roebuck. It was a collection designed to bring different period styles together in the same room including pieces such as furniture, rugs, draperies, ashtrays, and lamps. Each piece designed to let you mix patterns and colors in fresh new ways and but retained their individual character with the ability for each piece to stand on its own, blend beautifully with other compatible pieces, or as lovely additions to the furnishings you already had. These fabulous lamps were available in over thirty hot or cool colors and this gorgeous #941 avocado leaf green color glazed pottery base puts me in a spectacular mood!! Some lamps came with shades while others like this one came with a marvelous milk or white glass round globe. It will look fabulous in ANY room of your home and it’s bursting with mid-century modern magnificence! Whether you are in a bad mood, sad mood, happy mood, or in the mood for a snuggle with your sweetie… This Many Moods Collection table lamp bares just the right ambience to elevate ALL our moods!! Lawrence Peabody was born in Haverhill, Massachusetts in 1924. He trained at the Rhode Island School of Design, and he earned a Bachelor of Art degree in 1950 then went on to study at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen, Denmark. In 1955 he started his own design firm called Lawrence Peabody and Associates in Boston, Massachusetts where his clients included Richardson Brothers, Kohler, Sears & Roebuck, and Boyd Lighting. He assisted in designing several hotels in the United States and the Caribbean. He purchased a home in Haiti in the 1960’s where he and his family would live for six months out of the year. It is where he befriended DeWitt Peters, the founder of Le Centre D'Art, which helped promote interest in Haitian art & craft giving opportunity to hundreds of local artists, many of whom were once impoverished. Mr. Peabody served as Director of Le Centre D’Art. He incorporated Haitian art in his designs and helped bring a collection of one-of-a-kind furniture made by Haitian craftsmen to the United States. Most of his recognized furniture designs were manufactured by Richard Nemschoff...
