Mid-Century Modern Weinberg Mategot Style Metal Fish Wall Sconce, ca 1950s
About the Item
Mid Century Modern Weinberg Mategot Style Metal Fish Wall Lamp with a composite shade. The composite material seems to be a pressed paper of some sort similar to fiberglass but quite sturdy as it has lasted many years. I would suggest using a lower wattage bulb, preferably a LED style, to prevent creating a burn mark on the shade material as you see on many 1950s era lamps with fiberglass shades.
The design of this lamp has been attributed to Frederic Weinberg by many collectors in the past but we can find no proof that Weinberg ever produced this lamp. We have gone through many vintage catalogs so we feel fairly confident in that claim.
The light measures 17" high x 16" wide, 5-12" deep. There is a metal loop at the back of the lamp to hang on a nail oil wall hanger.
Condition is good. See condition comments and images for complete information.
