Background Info and Provenance
A GOOD-SIZED cut crystal table lamp from the art deco period- c. 1940’s. This is most likely a Bohemian / Czechoslovakian piece. These crystal lamps are an icon of the era and ideal in any home. From a distance, they’re barely noticeable against a white wall, just a twinkle in the background making them perfect in a minimalist designer interior, up close they’re captivating and at night they look amazing when switched on giving the room a stunning ambience. They cast patterned shadows over the walls.
I first bought one of these art deco lamps years ago to sell in my store but after I had it awhile, I couldn’t bring myself to sell it! These days I always have one or two at home- I love them.
This lamp is a 1940’s art deco original. Its heavy cut crystal- the power cord has an inline switch for ease of use (as shown in the photos). This one also has a wide base for extra stability. The original plug and cord shows no damage or noticeable signs of use but in this day and age I need to state that vintage electrics should be checked by a qualified electrician prior to use.
These lamps are a great investment. Although times (and interiors) have changed they still attract attention and are highly sought-after by people in all different homes from chic minimalist through to period homes with dark timber and regal colours like maroon and gold. If you look after this piece it will continue to be passed onto future generations. After other lamps have ended up as landfill, this piece will still stand apart- a symbol that when something has been done well, it will live on. There are few better ways to invest in your home and reduce your carbon footprint. (How does buying something like this reduce your carbon footprint? … Recycling what we already have is our only way out of this mess!)

This lamp is in excellent condition for its age. The cord and plug both work well and are in excellent condition. This lamp works well (as shown in the photos and I’ve used it at home for a few months). 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 crystal sections are about 70 years old but present very well. The crystal may show minor signs of use but nothing is noticeable at all or adversely effects the display of this beautiful 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.

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 or Medium Table Lamp- around $25 - $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 as landfill every day. 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.
