For your consideration we arepresenting a fantastic one-of-a-kind atomic ball lamp with accompanying fiberglass shade from the 1950s. The base is made of wood, and attached to it is a wire mesh screen that mimics the same wavy appearance ofthe base. Intersecting the wire mesh screen are a series of atomic balls in different colors that appear to be circling the orbit around a nucleus. The smaller balls are held in place by thick, slightly pliable wire chords. The fiberglass shade is beige i color, and it has random black and white paint swirls painted onto it. Measurements: With the shade attached, the lamp stands approx. 30.5\" tall (from the bottom of thebase to the top of the finial). Approx. 19\" tall to thelight socket. The silver wooden base is approx. 16\" wide x 6\" deep x 2\" tall. The fiberglass shademeasures 16\" in diameter across thetop, 18\" in diameter across the bottom, and is 11\" tall. The wavy wire mesh screen that is attached to the base measures approx. 12.5\" tall x 12\" wide. The silver wooden nucleus sphere measures approx. 2\" in diameter, while each of the 8 smallerelectrons circling the orbitmeasure approx. 1\" indiameter. Condition: Overall, the lamp is in very good vintage condition with no major problems to report - no breaks, cracks, chips, dents, dings, repairs, etc. Not sure if the base was originallysilver in color - it may have been re-painted at one point in time. Either way, it looks out of the world (no pun intended)! The fiberglass shade is free from rips, holes, tears, burns, etc. The lacing is intact, andappears to be in good shape. Theelectrical wiring looks to be original and is in fine shape - no frays, splits, exposed wires, etc. As with all vintage electronics, we\'d suggest having the wiring checked before longterm use. The lamp still retains the original felt on the bottom of the base. A stellar addition to one\'s atomic ranch or mid century modern abode! It\'s ready for use and/or display.
