About the Item
Condition: Original Vintage Condition
Materials: Enameled Metal, Brass
This sculptural table lamp by M.G. Wheeler Co. beautifully captures the sleek ingenuity of 1950s American design. Its gently curved brass arm supports a wide, saucer-shaped enameled metal shade finished in a vibrant yellow tone, creating a warm, diffused glow that feels both futuristic and inviting. The shade’s floating form and glare-free illumination were part of Wheeler’s innovative approach to lighting, combining elegance with precise functionality. The square enameled base and spherical brass counterweight achieve perfect balance, making the lamp appear almost weightless while remaining sturdy and purposeful. Its thoughtful proportions and timeless form reflect an era when craftsmanship met modern technology in perfect harmony.
Fun Historical Fact: Founded in the early 1900s in Greenwich, Connecticut, M.G. Wheeler Co. became widely known for its patented “Sight Light” lamps—one of the earliest designs to use indirect lighting to reduce eye strain. Each piece carried Wheeler’s signature engineering precision, earning the brand a loyal following among architects and industrial designers. Their lamps were often described as “light machines,” admired as much for their technical brilliance as for their sculptural beauty.
