| Here's a small cast iron
table lamp base in original paint! It dates to 1915-25 and is in
the American Art Nouveau style. 20 inches tall, it has been rewired with
a period appropriate gold fabric covered cord.
I can't be certain that the light socket is original
to the base, but it is period appropriate. It's an Arrow brand push button
switch, solid brass, and was on the lamp when I found it. Why do I wonder
if it's original? It has UNO threads, a feature necessarily found on bridge
lamps and hanging lamps, but not necessarily on a table lamp such as this
one. It could well be the first and only socket this lamp has ever had...
I simply don't know for sure.
There is no damage to the cast iron; all paint
is guaranteed original; no repairs or restorations have been made save
as noted above. Click on any of the images below to see just how good the
paint is!
The shade seen in the last image, below, is for
illustration only. 10 inches in diameter and 7-1/2 inches tall, it is the
correct size for this base, but since you may prefer a different shape
or style, I leave the hunt for a shade and a finial to you.
