VTG Streamline Futurist Art Deco Machine Age Chrome Table Lamp Light Pair Kent
Beautiful original machine-age art deco table lamps in incredibly well-preserved condition. Very much in the style of Edward Kent/Railley Corporation, but no conclusive attribution can be made. Shades are made of polished spun aluminum, with black painted accenting. The shades have an inner structure of either cast iron or steel to which they are affixed with the original slot head screws. The base structure is heavy cast iron with spun aluminum exterior. The stem of the lamp appears to be brass painted black (I see brass color peeking out from behind the black in some very small areas) with spun aluminum trim. Lamps have been rewired with modern but period-correct twisted cloth wiring and what appears to be new sockets. The cosmetics of the lamps themselves are original and unrestored. Note: The shades don’t have any hardware that they affix to on the lamps themselves–they were perched directly atop the bulbs when the lamps were acquired. Overall a stunning set of art deco period lighting that is in immaculate condition for being 80-90 years old.
