Item: For your consideration we are presenting for sale a RARE vintage MAJESTIC table lamp with its original accompanying fiberglass shades. The lamp base is constructed of banded brass components, and has both off-white and black wooden accent pieces. The shades are an off-white color, and they have brown squiggly filaments running throughout. There is an on/off toggle switch located on the base which allows the lamp 3-way functionality: either one or the other sockets can be lit up independently of the other, or both can be set to light up at the same time. There is a protective cork pad on the underside of the base which looks like it may have been a replacement. Not sure if they original Majestic label is underneath that as we have not made an attempt to remove it to further investigate. This lamp will make a great addition to any mid century modern interior setting! With the fiberglass shades attached, the lamp stands an impressive 35″ tall x 23″ wide. The distance to the upper light socket is approx. 27 high, and the lower socket approx. Each of the fiberglass shades measures approx. 13″ wide x 8″ tall x 8 deep. The black lacquered base at the bottom measures approx. 11″ wide x 7″ deep x 1.75 tall. Condition: While not perfect, overall we’d say the lamp is in very good, all-original vintage condition for its age. The banded brass components are in great shape – they shine nicely. The white wood component shows a little color variation between the front and back sides – possibly due to sunlight – we’re not 100% certain. The black wood components show a tiny amount of color loss, and it looks as though the base may have had color loss that was touched up at one point in time. None of this is really major, nor does it affect anything – we’re solely making mention of it for accuracy. Moving onto the shades. The front and back panels of the shades are in great shape. The upper-most part of the panels have a few cracks in the material. Everything is intact and tight with respect to the cracks, and they can only be noticed if you are looking down at them, and even then they are hard to see because they blend away with the brown squiggle filaments in the shade material (see photos). These cracks most likely resulted from a previous owner not putting on / taking off the shades with care. Aside from that, the lacing is intact on both shades and there are no burn marks or anything like that on either of them. The electrical wiring appears to be original to the lamp, and it is in good shape. We would still strongly recommend having a licensed professional inspect the wiring prior to long-term use as the lamp is vintage, just to be safe. The lamp is in fully-functioning, working condition in its current state. Both parcels will be fully insured for the final value of the sale. Please ask them and we will respond back to you in a timely manner.
