Wonderful mid century retro original 1950s lamp. It is made of chrome and plastic filaments. It reminds me of a bird's nest. The lamp from bottom base to top of socket is 28 1/2 inches tall. The bowl portion is approx. 15 inches in diameter and 13 inches tall. The base has a diameter of approximately 8 1/2 inches. It is in excellent condition and retains its original brown cord. Underneath there is small socket where a small light bulb can be put in, then inserted into the lamp bowl, lighting it up. The plastic filaments are very clean and white, not yellowed and aged like many can be. Please ask questions before purchasing and thanks for looking!
