30s Art Deco Vintage Butterscotch Bakelite Candlestick Style Lamp Pair TESTED
Original art deco butterscotch bakelite candlestick style pair of table lamps, each 9.5 tall. They have a 3.5 square bakelite base that stands on 4 brass ball feet. The central bakelite stick part is made in 3 parts, the tube below switch and bulb, and 2 thick rings that are separated with a 1 ring of filigree floral brass decoration. All the fittings are brass that has aged patina. They have gold plastic cords and dark brown plastic plugs. These are true bakelite and will turn simichrome a dark burnt orange color. I put in bulbs, and you can see the pair is working, the plugs and the switches function. However, the wiring is not new and you may want to consider re-wiring before prolonged use. One of the lamps has a flaw on the side edge of center top ring, a small old darkened chip, please see pictures.
