Vintage Gone With the Wind Style Hand-Painted Floral Table Lamp by E. F. Industries

This is a vintage Gone With the Wind style electric table lamp, likely dating from the 1970s, specifically noted as a 1970 E. F. Industries hand-painted piece. The lamp is characterized by its two major globe-shaped glass components: a larger upper shade and a smaller lower base section, both made of frosted or 'milk glass' with a creamy, yellowish hue. Both glass globes are adorned with hand-painted floral motifs featuring delicate pink, light blue, and white blossoms intermingled with green foliage. The painting appears to be somewhat stylized and rustic, indicative of hand-application rather than a machine print, and shows a slight aged patina consistent with its estimated age. The upper shade features a distinctive ruffled or crimped top edge, adding a touch of decorative detail. The lamp is supported by an ornate cast metal base with an antiqued bronze or pewter-like finish, showcasing intricate scrollwork and possibly acanthus leaf or similar decorative patterns. A brass or bronze-toned metal column connects the upper and lower glass sections. The lamp is electric, with a visible electrical cord, suggesting it is fully functional. No significant chips, cracks, or repairs are immediately visible on the glass, though minor surface wear or slight fading of the painted details might be present due to age and handling. The metal components show some patina and possible light oxidation, which is typical for vintage items and contributes to its authentic appearance. The overall craftsmanship suggests a mass-produced decorative item popular during its era, often valued more for its aesthetic appeal and nostalgic charm rather than its rarity.
