AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Dutch Art Deco lamp by Thabur from The Hague, and the execution in your photos is more interesting than the ordinary Thabur bulb lamps.

My assessment

* Manufacturer: probably Thabur, The Hague
* Period: circa 1930–1935
* Style: Art Deco
* Glass: light green/mint green opaline/milk glass, with hand-painted red/orange and dark floral and foliate motifs
* Fixture: dark brown/black Bakelite, including original Bakelite ceiling cap
* Type: pendant/ceiling lamp with decorative, domed floral shade
* Special: the combination of mint green glass + floral painting + brown Bakelite suspension is distinctive and renewed
The lot is carefully packed and shipped with Tr & Tr shipping

There are indeed examples of Thabur opaline lamps from the 30s with floral motifs; in addition, similar floral decorations are sometimes attributed to the German HOSO. Therefore I would not pin down the manufacturer 100% without a maker’s mark or catalog evidence.

Dating around 1930 fits well with the construction: Thabur produced many lamps with opaline glass and Bakelite fittings in this period. Comparable original Thabur lamps from the 30s are currently offered for roughly €90–€155, depending on model and condition. Something for the collector!
