Mid-Century Modern Three-Light Gooseneck Floor Lamp

This is a vintage Mid-Century Modern three-light floor lamp, designed for adjustable directional lighting. The lamp stands approximately 6 feet tall, featuring a slender, dark brown-stained wooden or wood-look metal central pole. The base is circular and flat, appearing to be made of a similar dark brown material, possibly wood or painted metal, with a brass-toned metal ring accent where the pole meets the base. Extending from the central pole are three individual light fixtures. Two of these fixtures are 'scoop' or 'cup' shaped, while the uppermost fixture is a larger, more prominent 'gourd' or 'tear-drop' shape. All three shades are made of a light-colored, possibly off-white or beige, speckled or textured material, which could be fiberglass or a similar composite, common during the mid-century period. Each light appears to be individually adjustable via a gooseneck or swivel mechanism, allowing for directional illumination. The inner surfaces of the shades are reflective, likely painted white or silver to maximize light output. Condition-wise, the lamp shows signs of age and use, consistent with its estimated period. There are visible scuffs and wear on the shades, particularly a red mark on the large upper shade suggesting a price tag or sticker residue. The finishes on the pole and base exhibit some wear, and the electrical cord, which is black, is visible trailing on the floor, suggesting it may be original but potentially brittle with age. No distinct manufacturer's marks or signatures are discernible from the image. The overall aesthetic points to a 1950s-1960s design, characterized by its functional form and sculptural elements.
