Mid-Century Modern 'Sputnik' Style Multicolor Table Lamp

This is a mid-century modern style table lamp featuring a 'Sputnik' or atomic-age starburst design. The lamp is characterized by a central black sphere from which multiple brass-finished or gold-tone metal rods radiate outward at various angles. In place of standard light bulbs at the end of every rod, several feature hemispherical enameled metal shades in a vibrant matte palette of primary and secondary colors including yellow, orange, red, blue, green, and white. The shades have white interiors to reflect light; one shade is currently missing its bulb, while another reveals a small, incandescent-style bulb. The central stem extends vertically and appears to terminate in a hanging mechanism or top finial, with a white electrical cord protruding. The overall construction suggests a vintage 1950s or 1960s aesthetic, possibly in the style of Stilnovo or Diabolo. Condition-wise, the lamp shows signs of age and wear; there is visible tarnishing and patina on the central brass rods and base, and some of the painted shades exhibit minor scuffing or surface dirt. The wiring includes a modern UK plug adapter, suggesting it has been used recently but might requires safety testing. The craftsmanship is of a industrial-decorative hybrid style typical of post-war Italian or American lighting design.
