About the Item

Step back into the Atomic Age with this striking Mid-Century Modern brass cantilever table lamp, styled after the designs of Gerald Thurston. This iconic piece features a distinctive “flying saucer” design, showcasing a sleek, green disc-shaped shade that gracefully hovers above an extended arm. The cantilevered structure, supported by a single base, allows for adjustable lighting and adds a dynamic visual element to any room. Crafted from polished brass, the lamp exudes a warm, sophisticated glow while reflecting the bold, futuristic aesthetic of the 1950s and 60s. The clean lines and minimalist design, reminiscent of Thurston's work, highlight both form and function in this timeless piece of lighting history. In excellent condition, the lamp features its original wiring, and the light is fully operational. Only minor signs of age enhance its vintage charm. The green lampshade is in great shape, making this lamp a perfect addition for those seeking to infuse their space with retro elegance and mid-century flair.
