Bakelite

Art Deco Bakelite Table Desk Lamp 1930s Catalin Skyscraper New Wiring Works

by

Art Deco LampWonderful 1930’s Art Deco skyscraper lamp with new wiring; works perfectly. I’ve seen some identified as being made by Chase but other than the number on the bottom base, I see no identification information. Cast iron base. Beautiful sleek look!

Has top finial for shade.

Overall very good condition;  single split in the bakelite on the base but that is only real imperfection and can be turned to the back.Art Deco Lamp 2

You may want to polish, but I think the bronze/brass metal has a wonderful aged patina.

Concentric rings on the bottom are so very iconic with the shape.

Measures a substantial 24″ to top of the finial fitting; lamp base alone is 14″ high x 5-1/2″ across on bottom. 

Very substantial and heavy, will be carefully shipped without a light bulb.  See this and many other unusual items in our connectibles eBay Store.
