Table Lamp, circa 1975
01
Artifact Overview
This lamp embodies the essence of 1970s middle-class taste. Its bright burnt umber base stands out -- probably competing with other boldly colored living room furnishings. The pierced and textured surface of the base lights up -- literally. Even the simple cylindrical shade with its multi-textured band and surface attracts attention -- adding more to a room filled with "more."
