Description

This dome-shaped wonder of Mid-Century design is straight out of an eccentric aunt's holiday tinsel-land. Imagine this as a prop in a Mad Men Christmas special, designed to hold a tinsel tree by the tinsel bar. The base dome is an off-white, and it’s completely covered in a constellation of chartreuse (think mustard-green-gold!) geometric stars. It's a pattern that looks less like traditional stars and more like atomic atom icons, giving it that classic 1950s/60s Space Age edge.

At the top, you've got the functional metal collar with three tarnished thumbscrews, ready to clamp down on your tree's trunk (or maybe a future UFO leg). It's a well-traveled kitsch queen, showing some of the patina of time with small age spots on the paint and metal, adding to its character. This is a unique find that will definitely start conversations over cocktails. Whether you use it for your festive tree or maybe, with a piece of glass, as a very statement-making side table base, it’s a piece of pure retro-flashback magic. Perfect for any MCM, kitsch, or retro collector!
