The vintage mid century modern pendant lamp features a distinctive “onion” or “gourd” shape created by vertical ribbons. This style is often associated with the “Rotaflex” or “spun” plastic/acrylic era of the 1960s and 1970s, which was a popular, lightweight alternative to glass lighting Material: Based on the visual texture of the ribbon and the structural form, these shades are typically made from cellulose acetate or similar thin, flexible plastic ribbons wrapped around a wire frame. Not paper this is much sturdier one. Possibly German or Swedish This is in great shape for its age only slight yellowing at top which is common with glues used.. I added a new pendant light kit so ready to hang..
