Art Deco Torchiere Floor Lamp with Cracked Glass Shade

This is an Art Deco style torchiere floor lamp, characterized by its upward-facing light source. The lamp features a prominent bell-shaped glass shade, which exhibits a distinctive 'cracked ice' or 'crazed' pattern, indicative of a pressed or molded glass manufacturing technique. When illuminated, as seen in the image, this textured surface creates a visually appealing diffused light pattern that casts a warm glow upwards and onto the surrounding wall. The shade appears to be made of opalescent or frosted white glass, approximately 10-14 inches in diameter at its widest point. Below the shade, there is a dark, possibly metallic, collar that transitions to a turned or carved element, likely made of wood or a dark composite material with a textured finish. This element then connects to a tall, slender columnar base, which features vertical fluting or reeding along its length. The vertical shaft is dark in color, suggesting a stained wood, painted metal, or composite construction, contributing to the lamp's overall verticality and elegant silhouette. The base of the lamp is not visible in the provided image. The overall condition appears to be good, with no obvious signs of significant damage such such as cracks or chips visible on the shade, though closer inspection would be needed to confirm. The style period is likely Art Deco, dating from the 1920s to 1940s, given the clean lines of the fluted column and the geometric-yet-organic pattern of the glass. The craftsmanship, particularly the detailed glasswork and the turned elements, suggest a moderately quality piece designed for aesthetic appeal and functional illumination.
