Pull Chain

Looks to be an oil lamp converted to a electric lamp- there is a cutout to the metal that now accommodates a socket. Some minor wear to paint and some over paint from metal base of gold to underside of lamp. The plug has a make shift cover for protection. A pull chain has been added to turn on. This may have been a GWTW lamp but there is no bulb/socket in base. Bulb not included. Lamp base is marked 1012. The lamp was gifted in 1928 as seen on underside of base.

Despite its drawbacks, this lamp is in good condition. As shown, the lamp is 21 7/8” tall and has a 6 7/8” square foot. You’ll notice that there are three pieces of missing filigree on the shade. Two are gone from one of the skirt panels and a small piece is missing on the crown.

Hues of amber, brown, and iridescent pinks create a warm, inviting glow when illuminated, further enhanced by decorative red glass cabochons along the scalloped lower edge. The substantial pottery base exhibits a rich, textured reddish-brown finish and an abstract, sculptural form, resting upon a dark, four-footed wooden plinth.
