Description from the seller
1950 Oriental Brass Camel Table Lamp - Beaded Fringe Shade
This unique 1950 brass table lamp offers a captivating blend of Middle Eastern artistry and vintage charm. Featuring an intricately crafted camel as the base, this lamp embodies a strong decorative appeal and cultural heritage, perfect for collectors or lovers of exotic decor.
The lamp's highlight is its ornate hand-pierced brass shade, designed with geometric motifs that reflect warm light beautifully. Hanging from the shade is a vibrant green and yellow beaded fringe, adding movement and color while subtly outlining the silhouette of a palm tree and desert scene. The finely detailed brass camel base is adorned with engraved tribal patterns, showcasing expert craftsmanship and adding a touch of nomadic tradition.
* Origin & Period: Middle East, circa 1950.
* Materials & Craftsmanship: Solid brass construction with hand-engraved detailing and beaded fringe in glass.
* Dimensions: Height 27 cm (10.6 in), Width 8.5 cm (3.3 in), Depth 5 cm (2 in).
* Unique Features: Camel-shaped base, tribal engravings, and richly colored fringe.
* Condition: In good vintage condition with light signs of age-related wear and patina consistent with time. The lamp was slightly wobbly; a small felt pad was added underneath for stabilization. It now stands securely.
* Functionality: Equipped with an integrated switch and vintage wiring (rewiring may be advised for safety).
A rare and visually striking piece, this lamp will instantly become a centerpiece in any interior, evoking stories of desert caravans and traditional craftsmanship.
Note: No visible manufacturer markings. Works tested but safety certification not provided.
