An electric table lamp designed in the style of a traditional paraffin or hurricane lamp, dating from the mid-to-late 20th century. The lamp is composed of a translucent amber glass shade featuring a flared and ruffled petticoat rim, which houses a tall clear glass chimney. These elements are supported by a brass-effect metal gallery. The base is made of dark-stained turned wood with a stepped circular profile. The lamp is fitted with a modern black PVC power cord that includes an inline on/off rocker switch with a red button. No maker marks or manufacturer labels are visible on the exterior of the lamp.
Condition report:
The lamp is in good overall condition. The turned wooden base exhibits minor surface scuffs and light abrasions consistent with age and domestic use. The amber glass shade and clear chimney appear to be free from chips, cracks, or significant damage. The metal gallery shows light surface tarnishing. As with all electrical items in an auction setting, this lamp should be professionally PAT tested by a qualified electrician before use.
