Loved those lamps.
Back in Clearwater (FL), there was a mall, very 50's/60's style, that had a HUGE one of those in the middle of the mall. (Hey Tweedtone, remember Sunshine Mall?)
I guess it wasn't a lamp per se, but had to be 20 feet tall, with plastic plants under it, and oil dripping down the guy wires. Got kinda nasty as the mall got more abandoned, that stuff collected a lot of dust.
At Christmas thay put colored lights under it to make it look like a tree.
I was fascinated by it.
