Description

A pair of electric table lamps featuring green frosted satin glass shades. Each shade has a faceted octagonal form and is topped with a decorative cast-metal cap featuring a pierced floral motif. The shades rest upon circular cast-metal bases finished with a repeating stylized petal or leaf border and a copper-toned patina. The interior of each lamp contains a wire support frame and a center needle point designed to hold a rotating motion cylinder, though these cylinders are no longer present. The underside of the bases shows no maker marks or factory stamps. 10″ H x 6.5″ base diameter.

Location: 10D


Condition report:

The lamps are in used, antique condition. The glass shades are generally intact with minor surface marks and grime; one shade has a small flake or chip on the lower mounting rim. The cast-metal bases exhibit wear to the original finish, including areas of oxidation, surface pitting, and minor verdigris. A visible break is present in the cast-metal rim of one base near a foot. The internal rotating motion cylinders are missing. The wiring is aged with visible repairs using electrical tape; professional inspection and rewiring are recommended for safe operation.
