Overview
This is an ornate electric candelabra table lamp featuring a patinated female figurine nestled along a curving stem beneath a three-light candelabra tier and a central electrified bulb socket. Styled with classic Rococo acanthus leaf scrolls, faux-candle sleeves, and a scrolled plinth base, it blends traditional salon elegance with modern electric convenience.
Story
During the mid-20th century, homeowners fell in love with Old World European glamour. This lamp was crafted to capture the romantic spirit of an 18th-century French salon for a stylish 20th-century parlor.
Maker / Origin
Many decorative lighting companies across the United States and Europe produced ornate cast-spelter and brass lighting in revival styles during the mid-1900s. These workshops combined cast metalwork with ready-made electrical components to bring high-style antique looks to residential markets.
Condition & Value
Shows age-appropriate patina, surface wear to the faux candle sleeves, and older cord wiring. Missing a decorative shade or finial. Fully rewiring for modern safety may slightly affect net value.
