Pair of Vintage 1970s Brass Eyeball Lamps – Mid-Century Modern Space Age Spotlights (Includes Custom Choice of Vintage/Modern Bulbs!)
Description:
Up for sale is a beautiful, matching pair of authentic 1970s Space Age Brass Eyeball Lamps. These iconic mid-century modern spotlights feature a highly polished brass finish with adjustable spherical "eyeball" heads that allow you to direct light exactly where you need it. Standing at approximately 12” tall and 8” wide, these are the highly sought-after, large table-sized models—the perfect size for a desk, nightstand, sideboard, or retro accent lighting.
Cords are over 9 feet long each. With inline switch.
Condition:
These are true vintage lamps with a history, so they are not in perfect or mint condition. They show minor superficial wear, light surface marks, and aging consistent with 40 to 50 years of use, but they have no major dents or deep structural damage.
They have been carefully hand-cleaned and gently polished. Both lamps feature their original translucent gold power cords with convenient inline thumbwheel on/off switches. Crucially, the original vintage blue foil UL (Underwriters Laboratories) safety labels are still fully intact on the inner bases, confirming their authentic manufacturing history. Both lamps are fully tested and in great working order.
🎉 CUSTOM LIGHT BULB SET INCLUDED!
(Note: one set of bulbs come with lamps. Your choice of color.)
To make this listing truly unique, the winning buyer gets to choose exactly which pair of bulbs comes with the lamps!
Because the inner brass shells of these lamps are highly reflective, they act as natural color filters. Shifting the bulb color completely transforms the mood of your room. You can choose a matching pair, or you can mix-and-match for an awesome dual-tone look!
Please message me upon checkout to select your pair of bulbs:
• True Vintage 1970s–1980s Ceramic Yellow Bulbs: Creates an intense, monochromatic liquid-gold sunset glow (Quintessential 70s look).
• True Vintage 1970s–1980s Ceramic Red Bulbs: Shifts the light into a warm, cozy copper-rose aesthetic (Moody retro lounge vibe).
• True Vintage 1970s–1980s Ceramic Blue Bulbs: The blue light hits the brass and turns into a light, soft blue glow (Futuristic 80s sci-fi/synthwave pop).
• Modern Soft White LED Bulbs: Brand new A19 60W-equivalent LED bulbs for a crisp, bright, energy-efficient standard light (Perfect for practical everyday reading or desk use).
• The Mismatch Option: Choose any two different colors (e.g., one Red and one Blue) to create a striking, high-contrast art display.
Shipping & Handling:
Lamps and bulbs will be packed with extreme care. The light bulbs will be removed from the sockets and wrapped individually in heavy-duty bubble wrap. The spherical lamp heads will be safely immobilized so nothing shifts, rattles, or scratches during transit.
