Offered for consideration is a vintage solid brass ginger jar lamp by Wildwood.
In several years of vintage lamp experience I can easily say Wildwood made some of the finest well-constructed pieces that were on the market. They are put together like a bank vault, exhibit exceptional detailing and will last the duration of the ages with proper care. Wildwood is the current owner of Frederick Cooper and Tyndale and they are still producing exquisite lamps.
The lamp is in very good vintage condition with minor signs of age and use. There are no dents or cracks in the brass. If you try, there is the slight ability to rotate the vase cap because it is not over tightened to prevent warping of the brass. This is normal. Wildwood lamps are bolted together internally in several places. It is in no danger of coming apart.
The electric components have been tested and the lamp is in working order. The cord is still pliable with no apparent cracking or exposed wire. Even with the previous being stated, it is suggested that lighting with vintage wiring be inspected by an electrician prior to use. It can utilize a 3-way bulb - 150 watt max
