VTG 1930 ' S Art Deco BAKELITE CATALIN TABLE LAMPS PAIR SET OF TWO
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:23524697 | Style: Art Deco |
| Type: Lamps |
I purchased these lamps over 25 years ago and they have been packed away since then. These lamps are awesome! They are made of marbelized Catalin which is Bakelite made after the original exclusive copyright of Bakelite expired. Think of Catalin as a generic Bakelite. This Catalin passes both the rubbing and the hot water tests for Bakelite. The plastic is in perfect condition; no chips or cracks and probably not even any light scratches.... All of the corners are beveled and the beveling is also in excelent condition. I wish that you could see the patterns in the Catalin. The marbelizing is truly beautiful and captivating. Both lamps work; both lamps measure 11 inches tall and 3.25 inches across the longest parts of the bases. The Catalin parts of the lamps, including the round metal pieces measure 7.25 inches tall and, as you can see, the sockets are different; it looks as though one socket is newer than the other. The white metal bases are also in excellent condition except it looks as though they were once painted or plated with brass, most of which has worn away. Regardless, aren't these fantastic? If anyone has any questions or wants additional photographs, please just ask.
