This 1930s Art Deco table lamp combines gilded spelter, alabaster, and glass, coloured in gold, off-white, and pale blue. The figural support depicts a kneeling female nude in stylised drapery holding aloft a ribbed glass globe shade with an iridescent blue tinge, mounted on a stepped square alabaster base with a diamond shape and two tiers, paired with an inline black bakelite switch on a brown cable. Measuring 38 cm high, 14 cm wide, and 14 cm deep, the lamp operates on electricity and works fully. Placement suits a sideboard top or similar surface within a home interior, providing practical illumination while serving as a decorative focal point. The materials display a metallic gold finish on the metal figure, a pale off-white tone on the stone base, and translucent pale blue on the rounded shade, accompanied by visible electrical wiring and switch hardware.

FAQs

Art Deco figural lady lamps typically feature stylised bronze or spelter female figures holding or supporting glass globes or shades. Popularised in the 1920s and 1930s, these lights combined functional illumination with the eras focus on dynamic human forms and geometric structures.

These lamps were usually crafted using cast bronze or spelter mounted onto natural marble or alabaster bases. The shades were often made from pressed, blown, or frosted glass, sometimes featuring subtle tinting or ribbed patterns.

Authentic period pieces generally display period-appropriate wiring pathways, original switch fittings, and cast metal figures showing natural patination or age-appropriate wear to cold-painted finishes. Plinth bases often feature carved alabaster or polished marble with crisp bevelled edges.

Place the lamp on a dark wood sideboard, console table, or bedside surface to create a ambient focal point. The sculptural silhouette pairs effectively with modern minimalist or layered vintage interiors.

Dust the metallic figure and glass shade gently with a soft microfibre cloth without using chemical solvents. Ensure all electrical components are periodically inspected and updated by a qualified electrician to maintain operational safety.
