AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Large vintage table lamp in bronzed brass with a hand-stitched parchment shade – 1920s/1940s (60 cm)
Description:
Impressive and atmospheric early 20th-century table lamp with a heavy, hand‑turned brass foot in a baluster style and an original hand-stitched shade made from real parchment.
Features & Details:
• Foot: Heavily crafted baluster foot in candelabra style, made from turned brass with a warm, dark bronzed patina and fine horizontal turning grooves. At the top, a classic drip tray (bobèche) and a decorative yellow candle-fitting sleeve with wax-drop details.
• Shade: Octagonal clock‑shaped shade, built from panels of genuine natural parchment with a beautiful, flame-like pattern. The seams and edges are hand-stitched together with brown suede leather laces. When the lamp is lit, the material emits a very warm and diffused ambiance.
• Condition: In exceptionally good vintage condition for its age. The parchment is still fully intact, supple and free of tears, holes, or moisture stains. The foot has a beautiful, authentic patina of age. The lamp is fitted with a cord and switch and works as it should. (Tip: preferably use an LED bulb to best protect the natural parchment from heat.)
Dimensions:
• Total height: 60 cm
• Width: 40 cm
• Depth: 40 cm
Carefully and insuredly packaged for shipping (with extra protection around the delicate parchment shade).
