Drawing from both Arts & Crafts geometry and postmodern industrial design, each lamp features structural strapping with exposed rivet details framing translucent mottled faux-mica composite panels that cast a warm, diffused glow. Clean columnar stems rise from weighted disc bases and culminate in dual brass-beaded pull-chain sockets.

Country of Origin
These lamps were Made in China for Tensor Lighting.

During the mid-to-late 1990s, Tensor shifted production of its decorative residential and accent lamp lines to contracted specialty lighting facilities in southern China (primarily Guangdong Province), while retaining domestic design and distribution operations in the United States. The molded black composite base insert, molded polarized zip plug, and alphanumeric factory sticker code (C11017805V062 / Model: 98-051445-183) correspond to this production era. See less
