Table lamp - Lighthouse 1950s - H52cm - Brass

Large 1950s Lighthouse Table Lamp – Copper & Brass Maritime Design – Rotating Light Effect In excellent condition – No reserve. Striking and highly decorative large lighthouse table lamp dating from the 1950s, executed in a beautiful combination of copper, brass and aluminium. This sculptural lamp captures the romantic imagery of coastal lighthouse architecture and translates it into a functional piece of mid-century lighting design. Such novelty lamps were popular in the mid-20th century and are today appreciated by collectors of vintage lighting and maritime-inspired design. The combination of copper and brass materials, the mechanical rotating light system, and the architectural lighthouse form make this a highly decorative and unusual piece. The lamp has been carefully restored and cleaned. The copper and brass have been polished and waxed to preserve their warm patina. For safety, the electrical wiring has been replaced while retaining the original vintage bakelite plug, maintaining the authentic character of the piece. The on/off switch is located on the base. All electrical components inside the lamp are marked EP, an Italian electrical manufacturer active during the mid-20th century, which supports the 1950s dating. A true eye-catcher for an interior, nautical collection, coastal home, or mid-century lighting collection. Dimensions Height: 52 cm; Top diameter: 12 cm; Base diameter: 17.5 cm Materials: Brass, copper, aluminium, bakelite Socket: E27; Light bulb included so the lamp is ready for use. Fully functional, but as with all vintage electrical items, a safety check by a qualified professional is recommended before use. Condition In an excellent preloved condition. Professionally restored, cleaned, polished and waxed. The electrical wiring has been replaced for safe use while preserving the original bakelite plug.
