Just out of a local house is this rare pair of Italian chrome Sputnik table lamps. These lamps were from the same line as the Robot lamps made by the Torino Lamp Company in Italy. They were made in two versions these being the larger and more impressive ones with a large 5 inch ball on the base with five 3 inch satellite globes orbiting a 4 3/4 inch central globe above all with a single bulb. The lamps measure about 22 1/2 inches high and about 10 inches at their widest. The lamps are marked Made in Italy under the bottom felt inserts. They are in good condition with a couple of very small dents and some oxidation here and there. One socket was restored and is pictured. The electrics work well, with one turn of the switch the outer bulbs light up, another turn and just the center bulb lights, a third turn lights all the bulbs. See photos as they are part of the description. Would make a nice addition to any collection and is guaranteed as described.
