Victorian Brass Stand Accent Lamp Christmas, old time santa
$ 15.84
Description
This lovely lamp is based on the original candle lit frames that were used to display Lithophanes in the 19th Century. It makes a great accent piece on a night stand, dresser, shelf, mantle, or bookshelf. This solid cast metal light stands 9 ¼“ tall, 4 3/4" wide, the base is 3 3/4" in diameter, and is finished in antique brass. A "candle cup" in back holds the raised light bulb socket, so the bulb is centered perfectly behind the porcelain panel. Comes complete with 6ft. cord, a bright 25 watt bulb, and an in-line rotary switch on the cord. Nicely boxed with a brief history of Lithophanes right on the box. This is a "lithophane" Victorian Accent Lamp; featuring a thin translucent porcelain panel, made using a lost art from the 1800's. When lit from behind, the light shining through the different thicknesses of the porcelain causes a highly detailed image to appear in front, almost magically. Lithophanes were invented in France in 1827. Good Condition.
