Vintage 1920′s Victorian Style Boudoir Slag Glass Polychrome Table Lamp
Offered here is a lovely little 1920′s boudoir sized polychrome table lamp with a fantastic slag glass shade! This little lamp is dripping with character. The base, cast of pot metal or spelter, is nicely molded and sports a wonderful, yet subtle polychrome finish in tones of gold and red. It is stamped on the bottom as shown in photos, but I do not know who made it. It’s a neat base, either way. The slag glass shade is a beautiful caramel color, unlit, and it spectacularly comes to life when illuminated. It looks like a miniature sunset! I couldn’t find any flaws, chips, or cracks of note. Notice the detailed filigree pieces between each panel – nice. The fitter is a standard 2 1/4 inch diameter. The socket is original to the lamp (from the time I acquired it), but the cloth covered wire and insulator are new. The plug is also original to the lamp, and I retained it when rewiring. It is a dense, hard plastic, and has one very tight hairline crack – but it is stable. I tried to flex it with various tools and amounts of pressure to see if it moved at all, but I couldn’t get it to budge. The insulator disc has been replaced. The lamp measures 14 1/2 inches tall to the top of the shade, and the base measures 4 inches by 6 inches.
