Description
Lovely Mid-Century vintage table lamp featuring a cream-colored ceramic urn-style body. The lamp is decorated with an elegant green and gold-toned leaf pattern and rests on a solid brass-finished base. Standing approximately 24-28 inches tall, this piece retains its original pleated fabric lampshade, still protected by the factory plastic. Perfect for Hollywood Regency, Grandmillennial, or Traditional interior styles.
Key Features
Original plastic-wrapped shade (indicates low wear), desirable Hollywood Regency aesthetic, classic cream and gold color palette, working condition with original wiring.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence vintage. The brown plastic cord and molded plug are characteristic of 1960s/70s mass-market quality lighting. Underside may have felt padding hiding a nut/bolt consistent with period assembly.
Flaws to Note
Minor oxidation or tarnish on the brass base expected with age; original wiring should be checked for safety; the plastic wrap, while protective, can become brittle over time.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Etsy (best for vintage decor), Facebook Marketplace (to avoid shipping fragile ceramic), or eBay/Mercari (requires professional double-boxing).
Selling Tips
Highlight 'Grandmillennial' and 'Hollywood Regency' in keywords. Take one photo with the lamp turned on to show functionality. Note the 'plastic still on shade' as a USP for collectors who want mint-condition vintage textiles.
Notes
Has plastic that has always been on shade!
