Original Moon Lamp designed and bought in the 1960's. Mom had it in 2 of our homes
I think it is an Original Moon Lamp designed by Verner Panton in 60's. My hip mother had it in 2 of our houses over the many years.

It could be a Henri Mathieu lamp.
These vintage lamps sell for $1600 - $4000.
A great opportunity to buy, restore and flip on a vintage design platform for designers, collectors to sell on like 1stDibs.
1 owner.
I've had it in protective bags in my storage. I can't keep everything, so it's time for this to go to someone else to enjoy.
*It has rust on edges, other places and you can see it in the photos. I am selling as is. With the cable and hanging cord, 17 inches +. There's rust on the pole holding the metal lamp rings as you can see in the photos.
It needs some TLC. Maybe a can of Rustoleum White Paint to bring it back to life.
It has heavy metal rings.
*I'll let the buyer do restoration on this vintage item.
The bulb is Not Included. It was only used to show that the lamp /light still works for this posting.
It's almost 15 inches wide. As you can view from a photo with a tape measure. It's a bit longer than wider. Probably because of gravity and time. See images.
Show in the photos are both sides of the moon lamp.
Selling as is.
Modern, vintage lamp from the 1960's.

****My mom was hip and had it in our 2 previous homes since I was born in the late 60's. She got rid of a lot of things, but never this. This was a showcase piece. She's passed, it's mine now and it's in my storage. I can't keep everything. It's time for this to go to someone else to enjoy. 🌺
It's Art Deco/Modern and really cool looking in my opinion. 😊🙂🤩
