Vintage Turned Brass Candlestick Lamp
This is a vintage table lamp featuring a solid brass base with a traditional candlestick profile. The lamp is constructed from multiple turned brass sections, exhibiting a tapered column design with decorative rings and a flared drip-pan style element in the center. The material shows a significant aged patina with visible oxidation, tarnish, and surface wear consistent with mid-20th-century origins. It stands on a weighted, tiered circular base. The hardware includes a standard brass-finish socket with a turn-knob switch and a tall metal harp topped with a decorative finial. Currently, the lamp is fitted with a modern LED bulb and a clear plastic power cord. The craftsmanship reflects industrial mass-production of the mid-century period, likely late 1940s to 1960s, designed to mimic colonial or neoclassical aesthetics. There are no visible maker's marks or stamps in the current view, but the overall construction suggests a sturdy, mid-market decorative piece. The surface displays minor scratches and pitting, adding to its antique character.
