Description from the seller
Large 1950s Lighthouse Table Lamp – Copper & Brass
Striking mid-century lighthouse table lamp, dating from the 1950s, beautifully executed in copper and brass.
The highlight is the original rotating lighthouse mechanism: heat from the bulb slowly turns an aluminium cylinder, alternating translucent and red mica panels to create an atmospheric rotating red-and-white beacon effect.
The lamp has been fully restored, cleaned, polished and waxed. The wiring has been replaced for safety while retaining the original vintage Bakelite plug.
