The bottom of the lamp is ebony stained metal that looks like wood and there is an ebony stained wood finial at the top. This stunning lamp is a statement piece.

The lamp looks like those designed by George Kovacs. The lamp socket is marked Leviton, and the maximum wattage is noted at 250. I don’t know the exact age of the lamp, but it may have been made in the 1970s. The lamp shade is not included.

It is approximately 31” high to the top of the harp and approximately 24” high to the socket. The lamp is approximately 8” wide. The lamp will be shipped with the harp removed from the lamp, and provided separately.

The silver color is in good condition and the lamp is in good preowned condition, with minor marks, consistent with age and use. There is one small ding in the top “ball,” but is hard to photograph on a shiny surface.

I perform research on each item to ensure that my descriptions are as accurate as possible, but I welcome any information a viewer can provide. I acknowledge that I am not an expert and I am always interested in learning more about Midcentury or vintage things.

The majority of my listings are vintage, and as a result, there are often marks, consistent with age and use. These may include minor surface scratches, nicks or scuffs. I do my best to point out condition issues with the pictures. A viewer is welcome to request more pictures.
