AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A very beautiful vintage Space Age eyeball floor lamp (standing lamp) with two eyeballs. Made in 1970s chrome and white, the lamp is 147 cm tall and the base has a diameter of just over 24 cm. The distance from one lamp to the other is about 40 cm (when the lamps are extended straight out), and it weighs approximately 4 kg.
The lamp dates from the mid-1960s or early 1970s and is quintessentially 1970s, with the typical Space Age eyeball lamps and 1960s–1970s chrome.
This type of lamp is called an eyeball lamp because the round spotlight, with a bulb in the middle, looks like an eye, with the bulb as its pupil (see photos).
The lamp is in good condition. There are a few expected signs of wear here and there from around 55 years of use. These signs are only visible when you look at the metal with a light from very close up. The lamps hang from a metal arch attached to a plastic component that slides around the chrome-plated pole. The eyeball pivots are a little less tight in places than they once were, but the eyeballs still turn easily and stay stable in any desired direction. The globes can be turned and tilted independently, allowing the angle of each individual eyeball (spotlight) to be adjusted. This makes the lamp ideal as a reading light, while also (at the same time) serving as a spotlight to illuminate, for example, a work of art or a painting. The lamps can be slid up and down and fixed in place, and rotated 360 degrees around the pole. The switch has four settings: top lamp only, bottom lamp only, both lamps on, and both lamps off.
Two clips, not visible in the photos, are included. They slide around the pole and can be used to secure the cord.
This beautiful lamp will suit any interior and is sure to be a conversation piece!
The lamp will be carefully packed in separate parts (quick and easy to assemble again upon arrival) and shipped insured.
Seller's Story
I generally sell antiques and vintage products. But also products, sometimes from the 21st century, that I find particularly appealing. The products I sell are very diverse in nature; from lamps to side tables, from telephones to wooden carvings, from vintage kitchen equipment to Art Deco and Art Nouveau coat hooks, and everything in between. The things I buy are usually items that I personally find beautiful and that are of high quality. It often costs me to part with them!
My expertise lies mainly in products from the 20th century.
I ship in used boxes in combination with paper filling material, or plastic filling material that is inside boxes that are sent to me. The boxes are sturdy. Usually made of double cardboard. I ship, unless otherwise agreed, always within two days after purchase. I place great value on a friendly, decent and reliable contact with my buyers.
