About the Item
CLAY MICHIE FOR KNOLL
ARTICULATING SAUCER DESK LAMP
NO. 8
RARE W/ BULB DIFFUSER
DIMENSIONS: Approximately 17" Tall Base: 8" Shade Diameter: 11"
Here is the large, iconic, mid century award winning desk lamp penned by Clay Michie for Knoll! This lamp is an archetype of modernist mid century style with its long articulating chrome arm and saucer shade!
This award winning lamp was used in books and magazines to illustrate what "good design" modern lighting should look like and this lamp defined the "modern" desk lamp in the fifties!
It cuts a classic profile! This example still has an original 1950s bulb diffuser, similar to those found on Italian lamps of the period, to protect the users from glare when the shade was facing them!
This lamp is so well made it provides a striking contrast to lamps of today!
An iconic Clay Michie lamp is not just a great investment, but a treasured object to enjoy in your Palm Springs atomic ranch, NY penthouse or West Palm Beach estate!

You simply can't find these wonderful Rembrandt lamps anymore! Rembrandt billed their designs as "Rembrandt Lamps- Masterpieces" and when the modern movement arrived, they were there in a big way with lamps that were simply works of modern art!
Rembrandt lamps were so futuristic they were used in episodes of Outer Limits and The Twilight Zone. Set designers that needed props found Rembrandt's incredible modernist lamps just the ticket!
This "Atomic Blender" design is named for the metal centerpiece that resembles a turbine blade...

Mid Century Majestic Table Lamp! Atomic MCM Luxcraft Brass 1950s Incredibly Rare
By Majestic Lamp Company
Located in Peoria, AZ
MAJESTIC MID CENTURY TABLE LAMP
STUNNING!
PERFORATED SCREENS
WOOD & BRASS
EXQUISITE MID CENTURY ELEGANCE!
HEIGHT: 20" 10" WIDTH
This Majestic lamp is a rare one! All Majestic/Luxcraft lamps are rare, but this is a bit rarer than the already rare ones. This one doesn't use fiberglass, but perforated metal for the lamp shades! This is also a nice small size that doesn't require a whole table or credenza to position. Both these elements are unusual for Majestic and make this a real treasure!
This lamp can be used on a night table or a small corner table. It fits in many places where other Majestic lamps wont. It's a fun lamp, that seeks to be used as an accent lamp, to put cozy lighting...
