    Hi all

    picked up this hanging/swag lamp for $5, I liked the look but I’m wondering when it could be from, starbursts say mid-century but the brass and glass could also be 80’s. Wondering what you all think! (Also mind the cat, he was curious)

    I was thinking 80s myself because I was furnishing a new home at that time including light fixtures. Looked at lots and lots of this sort of thing.

    Wasn't expensive in its time.

    That switch does look earlier,but I immediately thought 70s-80s too. Id take the glass off and put them back on after I painted that sucker,its perfect for that one dark corner .

    I agree. That smoked glass is kind of a give-away...and I think the kitty in photo #3 looks a bit perturbed by it as well. :)
