This is a lovely antique / vintage brass table lamp dating to around the 1920s.
It is a lovely simple design and comes complete with the trumpet or bell-shaped clear glass shade, as photographed.
The lamp has recently been re-wired and is all ready for you to just plug in and use. We have chosen a gold coloured cloth twist old-fashioned cable. This is earthed and PAT tested.
The base is circular with decorative steps. From the base issues, the stem. This has a spiral twist running all around it from the bottom to top - in between each raised twist section is an engraved floral pattern. There is a grommet to keep your cable in place and nice and secure. There is a brass bulb holder at the top with an on / off finger switch.
The shade is engraved with a geometric pattern with hobnail and fan details looks a little like the decoration used on Edinburgh Crystal drinking glasses. This lamp would certainly look great lighting up your cabinet of crystal glasses, or perhaps as a feature light on a wee table in a corner of a room.
It is a rather tall table or desk lamp. The brass base and column to the top of the bulb holder measures 15 3/4 inches (40 cm). From the base to the top of the shade is 20 1/2 inches (52 cm).
The shade is 5 1/.2 inches in height with a diameter of the top of 5 1/4 inches. The diameter of the base is 5 1/2 inches (14 cm). The brass section is nice and solid with a nice heavy base to that it does not topple over. Unpacked it weighs 2.5 kg.
As you can see from my photographs, my lamp is in excellent condition. The brass is all clean and shiny and the shade is also clean and without damage. We have photographed the base (below) for you to look at. We will applied a nice piece of new thick green felt to the base so that the metal does not scratch your furniture.
