Product description
Vintage, space age, industrial, flying saucer shaped hanging lamp, brushed aluminum, stretch cord circa 1970. The piece has a chrome pull handle, which allows to change the length of the cord from a height of 69, 5 cm retracted, up to 210 cm. Present and fully functional inside the ceiling support, is the original mechanism of the lamp, manufactured by rolly with a hook to easily hang it from the ceiling. Underneath, there is a circular plastic grid with 10 circles, ranging from large to small, and 6 spokes that go to the edge of the shade. Also present are its three (3) original brass sockets that work with b-22 bayonet bulbs in the shape of a flame (see photos.) Although this lamp is similar to others made at the same time, it has been determined that this model was made in the early 1970s, as later models went from 3 sockets to 1 socket. Another charm is that there are 12 small holes on the top of the shade, just below the neck, which also differ from similar models of this period. The lamp is in overall good, original, vintage condition, with some signs, scratches and marks of age and use on the lampshade, ceiling mount, neck, pull handle and plastic grill (see photos), which do not affect its functionality. Nice patina of time on the brushed aluminum, also related to age. (see photo.) The lamp has been tested and works perfectly (see photos.) When lit, it emits a beautiful glow, from below and above, where the 12 small holes above the shade let the light through, really evoking the look and effects of a UFO.Works with b22 type flame bulbs not included. The grid and pull handle will need to be carefully removed to insert the bulbs, and then reinstalled, once the bulbs are in place.
