Pair Iridescent Bohemian Art Glass Table Lamps Vintage Purple Scales Set of Two Description and Item Information Up for sale is this pair of vintage table lamps. Please excuse any glare in the photos. Each lamp has a filigree brass base with an iridescent Bohemian glass column; the glass pieces have a scales type textured pattern. Atop the glass are brass disc caps and above those are sockets, harps, and decorative filigree metal finials. The height to the top of the finial on each is approximately 23 inches. The filigree brass bases have maximum diameters of about 4 1/2 inches. There are brown cloth cords and brown plugs. Beneath, there is felt covering the base. Unpacked, these weigh 4 pounds 3.1 ounces together. They would be a lovely addition to a collection of European art glass. The glass is Bohemian, by an unknown maker. The exact age of these lamps is not known. The glass parts are presumed to be antique, and thus are older than the vintage lamp hardware. Condition The lamps look very good overall. The glass has no cracks or post-factory chips. The tops of the glass columns were ground flat when these were made into lamps, and there are a few tiny grinding fleabites from this process. The brass disc caps are slightly offset (more so on one lamp than the other) and may need adjusting in order to center them atop the glass columns. The felt beneath each lamp is torn. There are no light bulbs or shades included. There is light finish wear to the metal overall. As with all used electrical items, these should be rewired or inspected by a qualified professional before use even though the wiring and other electrical components look fine, cosmetically. Terms of Sale 1. Payments must be received within three days of the end of the listing, unless prior arrangements have been made. And international government regulations prohibit such behavior.

Vintage Machine Age Art Deco Butterscotch Catalin/Bakelite Lamp c. 1939 RESTORED
Dating to the late 1930’s, this outstanding art deco lamp is a stunning example of the incorporation of man-made materials in American industrial design. Catalin, an early phenolic resin, was used in manufacturing to simulate the look of gemstones. Due to the intensive labor involved in fashioning the material, it all but disappeared in use after WWII when manpower was at a premium and other, more malleable, plastics became widely available. Catalin has become highly valued by collectors and there is certainly a good share of it in this lamp. Few such unique catalin lamps survive this day. This lamp has been restored and refurbished and is in excellent working order. The lamp was completely disassembled for restoration. All catalin components have been cleaned and polished. Brass fittings have been machine polished. The original push switch socket interior has been refurbished with new like kind. Wiring has been refurbished new vintage style fabric covered cord and is appointed with a vintage Bakelite plug. This lamp accepts a standard medium Edison base light bulb. The double-clip shades provided requires a torpedo shaped bulb. Approximate dimensions are as follows: Height to top of shade: 14-1/4″ Height to top of bulb socket: 11″ Base: 5-1/2″ Point to Point Shade: 6″ Bottom X 4″ Top X 5-1/2″ Side General and critical photos have been provided and are a part of the description for this offering.
