Isn’t this fantastic? Such a fantastic mid-century modern aesthetic here. Brass is becoming so popular again, especially vintage brasses. I want to assign it to the Hollywood Regency category of design but it could work in so many different decors fluently. The plug doesn’t look scary like so many that you find on these older lamps. You can have fun picking out your own lampshade since that is not included. I’m visualizing a kind of subtle paper IKEA lamp shade but let your imagination run wild. I did not attempt to clean the brass but let it in the state with the patina. I know a lot of designers are very particular about the cleaning process. So I will leave that to you. Do you think it is a Chinese character or a kanji one (the languages share characters)? The base is composed of two pieces that slide apart easily. The height of the base is approximately 10.5 in and the lamp as shown with a bulb in it is 19 inches. The bulb is just shown for photographic purposes to demonstrate full height and bulb is not included. This is just such an exciting piece to me because one really encounters a rarity like this. With MCM decor being white-hot, this is a wonderful find for a designer or interior decorator or just anyone who loves to beautify their home with design classics of yesteryear.
