I brought her down, wiped off the dust, fixed the broken cord and added a bulb and shade. She came to life instantly and I knew I couldn’t return her to the shadows. She is a “Star Child”, with her emblem on her belt. She stands with an arm across her face; whether in modesty, reflexive or in a state of swoon – I cannot say. I only know I cannot keep my eyes off of her for very long. A full tapered dress clings to her body like a second suit of skin and fans discreetly at her feet, yielding a glimpse of a tiny foot. The lamp stem is more like a dance partner, closely following every curve of her form. And as such, it remains solid, steadfast and supportive of our human actor. I cannot tell what metal this lamp is made from. A magnet does not attract. Spelter of this age will crack or break when damaged but this base bottom has only become mildly deformed sometime in the past. It still sits flat. The lamp stem is without separation and is still securely attached to the figure’s back and roundish base. The push switch on the original socket is sticky but operational. I’ve added a switch to the cord to bypass this temperament. The art glass shade is riding on the light bulb with a clip-on unit. More secure means of attachment are available if desired. I made the glass shade in my studio; it is 1 of 4. Height – 12 inches. Weight – 2 lbs 3 oz. Weight – 1 lb 8 oz. Add harp and riser, optional. Apply felt to base bottom to protect delicate surfaces. Use standard size round LED bulb with clip-on unit. I acquired the base with a handsome hoard of lamps and period parts from established antiquities dealers over the years for my lighting business. This listing is for a genuine artifact of a bygone era coupled with a unique art glass shade that will be a pleasure to welcome into a new home. Please ask all questions.
