Where earlier decades had turned to glass and ceramic, the 1970s embraced \u003cstrong\u003eacrylic (Lucite\/Perspex)\u003c\/strong\u003e as a lighting material for its ability to transmit and diffuse light with a warm, glowing quality entirely its own. Combined with warm brass hardware, the acrylic mushroom lamp achieved a refined balance between the futuristic and the luxurious — at home in everything from a Hollywood Regency living room to a Milanese design interior. Major manufacturers including \u003cstrong\u003eDijkstra\u003c\/strong\u003e (Netherlands), \u003cstrong\u003ePeill \u0026amp; Putzler\u003c\/strong\u003e (Germany), and numerous Italian makers produced variations on this form throughout the decade; unlabeled examples of comparable quality were produced widely for the export and interior design markets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt 14¼\" tall with a 16¼\" diameter shade, this is a generously proportioned example — substantial enough to anchor a side table, credenza, or console. The warm glow produced by an acrylic mushroom lamp is one of the most photographed lighting effects in contemporary MCM interior styling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e Acrylic shade; brass hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approx. 14¼\" H × 16¼\" diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeriod:\u003c\/strong\u003e c.1970s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaker's Mark:\u003c\/strong\u003e None apparent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Good overall vintage condition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSource:\u003c\/strong\u003e Joshua Kodner Galleries, Dania Beach, FL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuction Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 6, 2024\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLot Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 181\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"background:#f5f0e8;border-left:4px solid #c8a96e;padding:16px 20px;margin-top:24px;font-family:sans-serif;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong style=\"color:#1a1a2e;\"\u003eContact Us for Pricing \u0026amp; Availability\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color:#444;font-size:14px;\"\u003eThis is a one-of-a-kind piece from our curated collection.
