Know before you buy
No, the lamp has been professionally rewired to meet modern safety standards while retaining its original push-button switch for an authentic vintage experience.
This lamp uses an E14 base bulb. It is compatible with modern LED bulbs, provided they are 15W or higher, allowing for energy-efficient illumination.
The metal features an authentic, natural patina that has developed over decades. This finish is a hallmark of its 1940s origin and adds to the lamp's vintage character.
The shade is made of ribbed glass with a delicate wavy rim. While it is sturdy for its age, it should be handled with care during cleaning or bulb changes to protect the decorative edges.
The lamp is quite compact, measuring 8.25 inches in height and 5.75 inches in width. Its small footprint makes it an ideal choice for a bedside table, desk, or narrow console.
