Description
Stunning vintage table lamp featuring a large glass urn-shaped body with a soft peach/champagne iridescent sheen. The body is decorated with elegant hand-painted pink roses and green leaves in a romantic cottagecore style resting on a tiered polished brass base. Its substantial size makes it an ideal statement piece for a bedroom or living area. Note: Lamp shade is not included.
Key Features
Oversized 'Grandmillennial' aesthetic, transitional floral design, double-bulb potential (if interior light is present), and the currently trending peach-fuzz/pink luster finish.
Authenticity Indicators
Construction style (felt bottom, brass nut assembly) and the specific application of the floral transfer/painting are consistent with 1980s American decorative imports. Confidence Level: High.
Flaws to Note
Pitting and tarnish on the brass base; visible dust and old residue on the top metal assembly; likely needs a specialized lampshade harp and finial. Wiring is untested in images.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Facebook Marketplace (best for fragile items/no shipping), Etsy (best for vintage collectors), or eBay (broadest reach).
Selling Tips
Highlight 'Cottagecore' and 'Hollywood Regency' in keywords. Take photos with the lamp illuminated to show the glow of the iridescent glass. Recommend local pickup to avoid the high cost and risk of shipping large glass items. Clean the glass with vinegar/water but avoid abrasive chemicals on the decals.
