When we cleaned out her home in Arizona, my mother in law pleaded with me to take her favorite lamp. She said she purchased it at Knott's Berry Farm which I never knew had a furniture department. The lamp is about 50 inches tall and I placed it by the dining room chair for scale.
In some way it reminds me of that leg shaped lamp int he Christmas movie. FRAGILEEE!
Lovely. How very 70s.
I have some stuff like that from my mom. Hideous, but I grew up with the stuff and it's so ironically ugly I hate to part with it. Lamps are especially good examples of this particular phenomenon. I have this one hanging lamp that . . . I just tried to describe but I can't. I'll have to take a photo.
straight off a James Bond Movie Set
I'm sorry, but that is hideous. at least to my 40yo eyes. Nicely preserved, though. And Huuuuge!
I should add that the part about a foot of off the ground that is sort of pear shaped, she used to put spare change and chewing gum and indigestion tablets there.Very convenient.
LOL - my son has a lamp in his room with a wooden base (also very 70s, inherited), and it has sort of a dish shaped bottom like that, for holding spare change, thumbtacks, and assorted Lego pieces.
Your MIL knows classic? Way cool.
Oh.
HEY! Thats where my lamp ended up - Was there money inside it?
I think you should rub the lamp, chris....

That's what I though Monster was going for.
