Vintage Mid-Century Modern Flying Saucer Desk / Table Lamp with Fiberglass Shade
A striking vintage Mid-Century Modern desk or table lamp featuring a dramatic flying-saucer profile and original textured fiberglass shade.
The wide 13.5-inch diameter fiberglass shade gives the lamp its distinctive Atomic Age / Space Age appearance. Unlike glass, the shade has the characteristic visible fibers and textured surface associated with vintage fiberglass lighting. When illuminated, the material softly diffuses the light and creates a warm glow.
The lamp has a streamlined sculptural form measuring approximately 23 inches long overall, with a substantial 7-inch diameter weighted base that complements the broad saucer-shaped shade.
Its combination of fiberglass, metal construction, and futuristic geometric styling makes it an excellent statement piece for a Mid-Century Modern office, desk, credenza, nightstand, or reading area.
No manufacturer has been conclusively identified, so the lamp is being offered as an unsigned vintage piece rather than attributed to a specific designer or manufacturer.
