Pair of Atomic Tripod Table Lamps 1950's Italy
Charming pair of Atomic tripod table lamps, Italy, 1950s. These sculptural miniatures of mid-century futurism embody the spirit of the Atomic Age with their playful, space-age silhouettes. The compact proportions are a delight—small in scale but rich in presence, they exude a unique character that commands attention without overpowering a space.
The bases feature glossy black lacquered spheres, elevated on brass rocket-style tripod feet that anchor the lamps with a confident stance. The woven rattan shades clip directly onto the bulbs, diffusing a warm, atmospheric light and further enhancing their tactile appeal. The juxtaposition of materials—brass, lacquer, and natural fiber—adds to their layered aesthetic.
Original Bakelite switches and plugs remain intact, a rare and desirable detail that reinforces the authenticity of these untouched gems. Their condition is very good, with honest patina and wear consistent with age.
These lamps are more than just decorative—they’re expressive objects, perfect for adding a touch of mid-century Italian flair to a shelf, side table, or nightstand. Seldom found as a matching pair and rarely with this level of preservation, they are a joyful find for any collector or design-savvy interior.
