About the Item
ICONIC!
KURT VERSEN GOOSE NECK DESK LAMP!
MID CENTURY DESIGN AT ITS FINEST!
GORGEOUS RED ENAMEL!
VERY HARD TO FIND!
In the postwar period, A house was not a "modern home" without at least one goose neck lamp somewhere!
Kurt Versen, who specialized in super durable, ergonomic lighting provided this design entry into the modern lighting marketplace and it quickly set the the standard by which all other goose neck lamps were judged!
This goose neck design places plentiful light where desired. A switch on the base turns the lamp on or off. Now these lamps are the most sought after early mid century lighting by decorators for knowledgeable collector/purists who wont settle for anything less!
Kurt Versen's lamps were selected by MOMA (Museum of Modern Art) as one of the "Useful Objects of Fine Design" in both 1940 and 1947. In 1933 at the Century of Progress Exhibition Versen's modern lighting also won an award. His contemporary lamps were some of the most honored of all lamps!
Excellent vintage condition. Some minor scratches, dings and typical age wear throughout. Presents beautifully!
This lamp is sensational and would look superb in your NY penthouse, Palm Springs atomic ranch or West Palm Beach estate!

- Rare Rembrandt Lamp! Iconic Mid Century Modern "Twilight Zone" Lamp MCM 1950sBy Rembrandt Lamp CompanyLocated in Peoria, AZRARE MARVELOUS MODERNISM! REMBRANDT MCM LAMP! "Twilight Zone" " "Third From The Sun" HISTORIC MID CENTURY LIGHTING! ATOMIC AWESOME! DIMENSIONS: HEIGHT: 38.5" SHADE: 19" MILK GLASS DIFFUSER FABRIC SHADE WITH TEXTURED GOLD FOIL LINING CIRCA 1953 WOW! THIS IS IT! The famous wildly modern Rembrandt lamp featured in the 1960 Twilight Zone episode "Third From The Sun". In this the 14th episode of Rod Serling's Sci-Fi masterpiece two scientists plan to escape their doomed world which is about to have a nuclear war. This modernist Rembrandt lamp was used in the lead character's home, right next to some modern art, to help present an otherworldly & futuristic decor. The viewers don't know that this world is not Earth until the end of the show, but the futuristic decor, unusual camera angles and unusual vehicle sounds were subtle hints! A timeless part of television history and a coup for Rembrandt lamp designers to be chosen to depict the most advanced lamp design! This lamp was expensive new and production was never as high as their lesser quality competition. The result is that now these lamps are becoming impossible finds. The few owners privileged enough to own one never let them go. They are far too cool! Now that brash mid century optimism and outrageousness makes them even more wonderful than when they were new! This one is in very fine vintage condition with all the expected patina and minor blemishes time takes on metal, glass, wood and enamel. The fabric lamp shade with its gold foil textured lining is lost technology that would be impossible to reproduce today at any price and is also in very fine vintage condition. This showpiece lamp features a giant "Mogul" socket which was used in most floor lamps and large table lamps prior to 1955, One will be provided with the lamp, and they are still available. It truly is a modern miracle to find this tall 39" monumental lamp! Displays beautifully! If you've ever wanted to have otherworldly decor in your interiors - this is your opportunity! If you haven't seen the episode, it is a must watch...Category
