Mid-Century Etched and Cut Glass Candle-Style Table Lamp

This is a vintage table lamp, dated to approximately 1948, featuring a multi-tiered glass construction. The base is composed of two stacked, heavy square glass blocks with deep diamond-cut (cross-hatch) patterns on the sides and polished beveled edges. Rising from the base is a tall, slender columnar stem made of clear glass, featuring intricate vertical etching and textured twist motifs that suggest a high level of craftsmanship. The lamp utilizes a combination of cut and etched glass techniques typical of the mid-20th-century Hollywood Regency or Neo-Classical Revival styles. The hardware includes a weathered brass or gold-tone socket with a standard turn-knob switch. Notable condition issues include visible oxidation and pitting on the metal socket, frayed or aged insulation on the brown electrical cord wrapped around the base, and some surface grime within the glass crevices. The glass appears to be in good structural condition without major chips visible, though internal dust is present. This piece reflects the 'boudoir' lamp aesthetic popular in the late 1940s, emphasizing light refraction and elegant verticality. It is currently missing its harp and lampshade, which are necessary for functional use.
