M.G. Wheeler Mid-Century Modern Sight Light Desk Lamp for Wasley Products - A Mid-Century Modern table or desk lamp, commonly known as the ”Sight Light” design attributed to M.G. Wheeler. The lamp is executed primarily in brushed brass-toned metal, featuring a flat, square base from which a curved, articulating arm extends. The arm supports the light assembly, which includes a wide, saucer-shaped shade and an internal white conical glass or porcelain diffuser designed to direct light. A white plastic rotary switch is located on the socket housing. A label affixed inside the shade identifies the manufacturer as WASLEY PRODUCTS, INC., PLAINVILLE, CONN., alongside the designation PORTABLE ISSUE 86,887. The design is characteristic of 1950s atomic and UFO-inspired aesthetics.
