Mid-Century Modern Avocado Green and Gold Plasto Lamps with Original Shades

About the Item

Incredible complete pair of Mid-Century Modern avacado green lamps by Plasto. These have got to be some of the most authentic Mid-Century lamps around. It is quite rare to find lamps with their original shades. These green, conical shades are perfect mates for the beehive shaped lamps. The chalkware lamps are indeed shaped like beehives with gold bands accenting the olive green. The lamps rest on a brass base and have a tasteful walnut wood neck. The lamps shades have some wear, but they are so special we can forgive the flaws. The trick to fix flawed lamp shades… rotate them so that the good side faces forward and bad side faces the wall. Plasto label is etched on the back side near bottom. Lamp 8” Diameter x 24” High (40” High with shade) Shade 15 3/8” diameter x 19” High.

Pair of outstanding vintage over-sized Brutalist lamps. If you’re looking to make a statement, look no more.
