Know before you buy
Yes. While the lamp is an authentic 1940s piece, it has been professionally updated with new wiring to ensure it meets current safety standards for home use.
Yes, the original on/off push-button switch has been retained to preserve the lamp's vintage character and remains fully operational.
The brass features a beautiful, authentic aged patina that reflects its 1940s origins. This natural wear is part of the lamp's history and adds to its unique, artisanal aesthetic.
Given its compact size and vintage socket, we recommend using a standard candelabra-base LED bulb. This will provide sufficient light while keeping the heat output low to protect the glass shade.
The Murano glass is delicate, as is typical for hand-blown pieces from this era. It should be handled with care during cleaning and placement to maintain the integrity of the wavy rim.
