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!
