This is a very decorative genuine antique desk or table lamp.
It is an adjustable early 20th Century cast brass desk lamp. It is a particularly decorative one and I just love it! I will be sad to see it go!
It is in good antique condition - and is nice and clean. It has recently been fully re-wired with earth point for your safety.
This antique lamp is a top-quality item. It is so beautifully made - and is therefore both functional and attractive.
The shade is not original to the lamp - but dates to the same period - around 1905.
The shade is antique and NOT a modern reproduction. The vaseline glass shade is in excellent condition with no damages - and it looks just so pretty on the lamp. It is bell-shaped with a frilled edge - the tips of the edge section are more opaque pale creamy yellow in colour - the central area is clearer and pale yellow in hue.
The shade measures as follows: height roughly 3 1/2=4 inches - and the diameter is 7 1/4 inches.
The overall height of the upstand is 22 1/2. inches and the diameter of the base is 5 1/2 inches. The length of the arm section is 9 inches.
The arm section can be moved up and down by loosening the beautiful thumb screw (as photographed) - so the curved arm section holding the shade and be pulled up and down the upstand, Probably the best thing about this lamp is the decorative flower head addition at the bulb holder section and the Rococo Revival style leaves along the length of it.
The lamp has been re-wired and earthed for sale - it has a new "old-fashioned style" three-core twist cloth cable in an old gold colour. We have also added a lovely ball shape Bakelite on-off switch, as photographed.
The base is circular and stepped, as photographed. I adore the big loop of a carrying handle at the top.
I have taken lots of images for your inspection - this should show in close-up all the details of this lovely lamp. The brass has a nice warm golden glow to the metal - it has a nice sheen to it and is nice and clean. All ready just to plug in and light up. A great feature light for a smart period interior.
I have listed it at a fair price - as not only is the lamp quite rare - but the vaseline shade is so lovely too and looks so perfect on the lamp.
The lamp will be very carefully packed and sent to you with Parcelforce48. This is a tracked service and it costs about £14. The postage is applied at check out. UK Posting only.
