Vintage Pierced Brass Boudoir Lamp Base No Figurine Octagonal Needs Rewiring

Small boudoir lamps like this one were made to sit on a dressing table or nightstand, with a little figurine standing in front of the light. This pierced brass base carries that look, with its lacy perforated sides and an oval gallery tray on top where the figurine once stood. It would suit a restorer who wants to pair it with a figurine of their own, or a collector of vintage brass lighting.

Details

• Key facts: octagonal base with perforated sides, an oval pierced gallery tray on top, a curved S-bend stem, a push-through socket and an old two-prong plug with a cloth-style cord.
• Green felt on the underside protects the tabletop.
• Weight about 1.1 lb.
• The figurine and shade are not included.

Condition: Used with age wear. The brass finish is tarnished, with rust on the socket shell and harp clips, and the green felt underneath is worn and wrinkled. The figurine is missing. The old cord is brittle and the lamp is untested, so plan to rewire it before use - see photos.

The photos are part of the description, and it will be packed with care.
