1930’s
vintage cast metal desk lamp with clip-on handmade lamp shade. The original
patina of the lamp base has been retained though a light overspray of soft iron
and dark bronze has been applied. Base has areas to lay items such as pencils, pens,
paper clips, business cards, etc. Base also has an attached vintage Shaeffer Deskette
Pen with holder. Base has been repaired on backside below unfinished brass reeded
lamp stem though not readily noticeable. Lamp shade is new and hand crafted in
French country style with Angel Strawbridge fabric edged with French gimp.
Shade clips on to a standard base light bulb. Lamp has new wiring with brass
rotary on-off knob socket shell. Lamp slants backwards but was manufactured in this
way. Lamp measures 11-1/2“ tall; base 5“ wide and 4-1/2“ deep; shade 3” top diameter, 6” bottom diameter and
4” high. A 40-watt equivalent LED standard base light bulb is included and
recommended to prevent the shade from getting too hot. This is a
one-of-a-kind, very unique lamp.
