AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Art Deco wall lamp – brass-colored fixture with ribbed glass tulip – circa 1930
Atmospheric and characterful Art Deco wall lamp with a beautiful brass-colored fixture and a striking clear glass shade in tulip/flower shape.
The wall plate is richly designed with vertical geometric lines and a decorative floral edge. From the center a gracefully curved arm leads to the glass shade. The clear pressed glass has a strong vertical rib structure and ends in a wavy, almost pleated edge. This combination of geometry and organic shapes is typical for much lighting from the Art Deco period.
Comparable brass wall lamps with curved arm and tulip-shaped pressed glass shade are typically dated to the 1930s. Both specialized Art Deco retailers and design platforms show similar French and European examples from this period.
The lamp has an especially warm appearance when lit. The relief glass beautifully refracts the light and creates a lively pattern on the wall.

The combination of brass and decorative pressed glass is common in European Art Deco lighting from the 1920s–1930s. Similar models from Germany and France were also produced with flower- or tulip-shaped glass shades and brass fixtures.
Condition
Good used vintage condition with normal age and use marks. The metal fixture shows patina, discoloration, and light scratches appropriate to its age. The glass shows light signs of use; no large cracks are visible in the photos.
The wiring, plug, and switch appear to have been renewed or adjusted at a later date. Given the lamp’s age, I advise having the electrical installation checked by a professional before extended use.
The photos are an integral part of the description.
A particularly decorative wall lamp for lovers of authentic 1930s lighting, Art Deco, French interiors, and classic ambient lighting.
