AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Magnificent Art Deco Bohemian Ruby Red Cut-to-Clear Crystal Table Lamp

An exceptional antique Bohemian crystal table lamp base, featuring a rich ruby red (cranberry) glass overlay meticulously hand-cut to clear.

This piece is a stunning example of Art Deco glasswork from the early 20th century.
The lamp base showcases a sophisticated geometric pattern with alternating "lens" (thumbprint) cuts and elegant vertical fluting that brilliantly refracts light, even when the lamp is off. The deep burgundy-red glass creates a warm, luxurious glow when illuminated. It features a solid, heavy crystal base with a pre-drilled central hole for electrical wiring.

Specifications:
Material: Heavy Lead Crystal / Overlaid Glass
Technique: Mouth-blown, hand-cut, and polished

Style: Art Deco / Bohemian

Period: Approx. 1920–1940

Origin: Czechoslovakia (Bohemia)

Color: Deep Ruby Red / Clear

Dimensions:
Height including socket is 37 cm
Diameter is 9 cm

It is in good vintage condition. There is minor, age-appropriate shelf wear on the underside of the base and a superficial chip in the very top. Please inspect the pictures.
