1950s TV lamp.

Ceramic lamp that used to serve as an accessory to the television. Even today, you can use it for the same purpose or decorate a table or shelf with it, as it is an excellent decorative piece due to its attractive colors and the atmospheric light it emits. Have you heard of a TV lamp? In the 1950s, the presence of television was increasing in middle-class households. Even in its early days, television was already showing itself as a central part of the modern home. "TV" was changing lives in the same way personal computers would three decades later, and like with most technological inventions, there were concerns. Many believed that watching television in a darkened room could cause eye damage. Considering that consumers were used to watching movies in darkened theaters, it was quite natural for the tradition to be transferred to home viewing. Even the earliest televisions emitted relatively weak light, so watching in low light was almost a necessity. Soon, many televisions were adorned with a new decoration, a ceramic, illuminated figurine... the TV lamp. It seemed that the ambient light created by these lamps reduced eye strain and allowed viewing without guilt. TV lamps soon became an essential accessory for family television. Although they dominated as favorite household items for only about 10 years, their design significance still influences today. TV lamps were available in thousands of variations from hundreds of manufacturers, and although made from various materials, the majority were ceramic, coated with glossy glaze in one of the popular colors of that decade. Most of these charming household sculptures represented members of the animal kingdom (horses, deer, dogs, birds, domestic cats, and the ever-popular panther), some were human figures, while others were just exercises in abstract design. Dimensions: 20 cm Weight: 670 g The TV lamp is in excellent condition, without cracks in the glaze. For E14 light bulbs.
