Vintage Converted Electric Hurricane Lamp with Crystal Prisms

This appears to be a vintage or antique hurricane lamp, converted for electric use. The primary material is clear glass, exhibiting a delicate and somewhat florid design. The lamp features a tall, flared glass chimney, which would have originally housed a flame, now containing an incandescent light bulb. The chimney itself appears to have subtle etched or molded decorations, possibly floral or scroll motifs, though they are not clearly discernible due to image resolution and lighting. Below the chimney, there is a metal socket assembly, likely brass or nickel-plated, showing some signs of wear and minor tarnish consistent with age and use. A small black on/off switch is visible on this component. The base of the lamp is also made of clear glass, featuring a faceted or cut design, giving it a somewhat ornate appearance. Suspended from a clear glass ring directly beneath the socket are several clear glass prisms or 'icicles,' adding a decorative, shimmering effect. These prisms are faceted and vary slightly in length, contributing to the lamp's overall elegance. The electrical cord, black in color, is visible extending from the base, indicating its conversion from a fuel-burning lamp to an electrified one. The glass components appear to be in good overall condition with no obvious chips or cracks, although a layer of dust or grime is apparent, especially within the chimney, suggesting it has not been recently cleaned. The craftsmanship points to a period when such decorative glasswork was popular, likely late 19th to early 20th century. The conversion to electric power would have occurred at some point in its history, reflecting adaptation to modern conveniences.
