Laurel Lamp Company 'Mushroom' Floor Lamp, c.1965

Story

Newark, New Jersey, was the unlikely birthplace of this Space Age masterpiece during the mid-1960s. While the rest of the world was looking at the moon, the designers at Laurel were looking at how to bring that celestial, ethereal glow into the American living room.

Maker / Origin

The Laurel Lamp Company was one of the premier American lighting manufacturers of the 20th century, known for bringing high-end 'architectural' lighting to the broader public.

Condition & Value

The glass shade appears to be in excellent condition with no visible chips at the fitter rim, which is the most common area for damage. The brushed metal finish on the stem and tulip base shows minimal pitting or oxidation, suggesting it has been kept in a climate-controlled environment.
