Background Info and Provenance
An incredible shell lamp from the 1950’s that’s been hand-painted with a sailing-ship on the ocean. I’ve never seen anything like this before. The hand-painted scene on the lamp is alone worth this asking price. It has been very skilfully done and is really eye-catching. I love how the reflection on the water matches the reflection of the light on the inside of the lamp. It makes for a piece that attracts your attention immediately.
This one has been enjoyed at home for several years. I’ve really fallen for it but another lamp has just arrived so unfortunately this one now must find a new home. I’m not a hoarder and never have been. It is only through moving something out of our lives that we can invite new, exciting things in. This business has become a reminder for me of that wisdom every day.
(The shells are both real). The timber base is also real. This lamp is also bringing a lot of prana (life-energy) into your home.
These shell lamps from the 1950’s have been changing hands less and less over time. After many modern pieces have lost favour and ended up as landfill, this vintage shell lamp will only become more prized as it gets passed onto each new generation. (There’s also no more a perennial designer than Mother Nature herself so this one will never go out of style.) There are very few better ways to invest in your home and reduce your carbon footprint.

This 1950s shell lamp is in excellent vintage condition. The cord and plug both work well and are in excellent condition. This lamp works well (as shown in the photos.) Because it’s used, I need to state for legal reasons that it’s a condition of purchase you have it checked by a qualified electrician prior to use. The inline switch is also in working condition. This retro shell lamp is about 70 years old but presents very well. The timber may show minor signs of use and age but nothing is noticeable at all or adversely effects the display of this incredible piece. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

PICK-UP . . . from 30 or 40 minutes North of BRISBANE city is accepted but postage is preferred as my home is hard to find. Because of this I will nominate a friend or family member for you to collect the item from if you need collection. Pick-up in person must be worked out prior to purchase- thank you. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ POSTAGE is offered internationally. All our Decorative Arts pieces are delivered through AUSTRALIA POST. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ POSTAGE ESTIMATES. . . . ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ To BRISBANE- most of our pieces cost $15 - $18 to send. . . To SYDNEY or MELBOURNE- Small Vase- around $20 - $23, Medium Vase- around $20 - $25, Large Vase- around $24 - $30. Let us know if you need an EXACT COST for postage prior to purchase. The above postage estimates include $2.95 for a signature on delivery. . . INSURANCE against being lost or broken in transit up to the value of $200 is included in the estimates above. If your vase is cheaper or more expensive than $200 this will effect your postage fee slightly. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A BOXING FEE of $3.00 is included in the fee above to cover the cost of searching for and storing used packing materials. With the millions of cardboard boxes that end up as landfill every year we don’t believe in supporting the manufacture of boxes for post. Instead of buying new boxes and packing materials and passing this cost onto our customers we spend considerable time sourcing used boxes and then fashioning boxes to fit each item. We do the same for bubble-wrap and foam pieces. This requires a large investment of time, energy, ingenuity, organization and storage space- it is much easier and cheaper to buy new packing materials but I can’t justify taking the easy way out when so much packing material ends up polluting our earth. Our $3.00 charge does little to pay for the time (and storage) needed do this and to pack your item (there is also the time needed to get your package to the post office). This is something we’re happy to do for our customers and the environment. We appreciate your support in this area.
