You are looking at a very nice condition Mid Century Modern Tension pole lamp made by The Modernera Lamp Mfg. Co. of Encino Calif.which is now out of business. This is a remarkable condition lamp, no dents, chips, or scrapes.With the ceramic shades in the classic mid century modern colors, orange, white, and turquoise. I just found at an estate sale in Western Colorado. The pole is in perfect condition satin brass finish. The upper part of the fixture is satin brass also with the 3 hooks and 3 plug ins for the individual lights on chains. The light shades are ceramic with diamond shaped cutouts , and measure 14 inches tall, 4.5 inches wide at the open bottom, and 6 inches at the fat bulge in the middle. the lengths of the lights with chain are the blue one, 28 inches, the white one, 37 inches, and the orange one, 45 inches. The total width of the lamp together from bulge to bulge is 18 inches. The light fixtures are made up with a chain and a cord that plugs in the top plate of the pole. All the lights have the original fabric wrapped wire threaded through the chain in perfect condition, see photo. The glaze on the lamp shades have fine cracks or crazing from age. It does not detract from the look of the lamp. There are a few very small rubs on the pole, match head or smaller size. Email for more info or photos. Shipping will be expensive because of the heavy weight of the ceramics. Shipping $75.00
The pole is 108 inches total. I have 9 foot ceilings in my house. When I set it up and hung the lights on it , the weight compressed the spring and I had to put the blocks under it. The lights are heavy, they are ceramic. All wiring is good and works as it should. I believe we weighed the lights alone and they were 5 lbs. each. I think the spring is not as strong as it was when this was new back in the 50\'s so when all the lights are on hanging on it, it squats it down a little. I would think you could replace the spring or even expand it a little and it would be fine. Or I think you would be ok with an 8 ft. ceiling.
