Antique Cast Iron Table Lamp with Beaded Fringe Shade – Dual Socket, c.1920s
An antique cast iron table lamp, likely from the 1920s, featuring a richly detailed base with pierced scrollwork, claw feet, and a worn gilt finish. The ornate design blends Victorian revival with early Art Deco sensibilities, making it a compelling decorative piece.
The lamp includes a dual-socket fixture with original pull chains and updated wiring for modern use. It is crowned with an elegant fabric lampshade in cream and dusty rose, decorated with ruched silk panels, braided trim, and a dramatic bead fringe. The tall, flared shade is a nod to the opulence of early 20th-century lighting and adds a soft, ambient glow when illuminated.
This piece exemplifies the craftsmanship and aesthetic of the interwar period and would suit traditional, vintage, or eclectic interiors beautifully.
Condition:
In good condition overall. The cast iron base shows visible surface oxidation, especially underneath, consistent with age but structurally sound. The gilt finish has aged unevenly with some flaking. The shade has a few faint stains; fringe is complete. Wiring is a more recent replacement and fully operational.
Dimensions:
- Height (to top of finial): Approx. 30 inches
- Base: 6.5 x 6.5 inches
- Shade Diameter: Approx. 17 inches at widest point
