Brass and Hurricane Glass Table Lamp
This is a vintage-style electric table lamp featuring a solid brass base and a decorative swirl-patterned hurricane glass shade. The base is constructed with a tiered, square-foot pedestal transitioning into a fluted, urn-style column, displaying a classic tarnish and aged patina consistent with mid-to-late 20th-century brassware. The glass shade is clear with a distinct spiraled optic ribbing or 'swirl' pattern that diffuses light, finished with a scalloped or 'pie crust' rim at the top. It is internally illuminated by a flame-shaped decorative bulb. The construction suggests a traditional or Hollywood Regency influence. Physically, the item appears to be approximately 14 to 18 inches in height. The brass surfaces show moderate surface oxidation and minor scuffing, typical for its age. No visible cracks or chips are observed on the glass shade. The electrical cord is narrow and black, typical of domestic lamps from the 1970s or 1980s. The overall craftsmanship indicates a mid-market decorative piece rather than high-end custom lighting, though it remains in functional condition.
