GERALD THURSTON Lightolier Mid Century Danish mushroom lamp VTG 60s:
$485.00

Wonderfully scarce (and complete) Gerald Thurston lamp....possibly from his \'Scandia\' line circa \'58-60
As I\'ve mentioned in other listings, I don\'t think any designer reinvented how lamp shades can look and function, more than Gerald Thurston. Creamy white plastic mushroom shade, with a brass ringed basket assembly holding a glass column which beautifully disperses light. Walnut and brass shaft, with enameled metal base and socket housing.
Moving above and beyond the typical \'mushroom lamp\'.....rich with details.
Condition:SHADE: Overall creamy white in appearance...some internal yellowing which isn\'t visible when assembled. 2 internal hairline cracks, not visible externally. Minor hairline on top of shade near brass.BRASS COLOR AND GLASS COLUMN: Excellent condition.WALNUT SHAFT: Typical age related scuffs.SWITCH: Works as it should, although slightly loose.METAL BASE / HOUSING: Some age-related scuffs, and minor scratches.
About 27 inches tall, with a 15.5 wide shade. I also have a black one listed separately.
As a mid century lamp lover, collector and seller, my philosophy is simple and two pronged;1) RARITY AND BEAUTY
One can easily buy a great $1000 contemporary lamp from Holly Hunt or Circa lighting, or Flos (to name a few) but the lamps I sell
will never be produced again and I appreciate their rarity.
2) HONESTY
I never sell \"Frankenstein\" lamps (odd pieces slapped together, slathered in new paint (oddly enough usually fire engine red) and passed off as having an exotic (usually Italian, or Gino Sarfatti ) origin.
Buyer beware, I say!
This will ship either FedX home or UPS for safety.If any shipping cost is less it will be refunded without question.
