Presented for Your Consideration

A rare matching pair of Ronson female nude lamps with optional set of iridescent pulled feather art glass shades, offered separately.  The figure lamp bases are offered together as a set.  The iconic Deco form figures standing on one foot is more often found in bookend form and is quite rare in a table lamp design.  Immaculate face and body details coupled with an absence of lamp stem separations are some of the highlights of this important work of early 20th century decorative arts.  One lamp appears a bit taller than its partner because its shade holder rests higher on the threading on the socket.

Both Foster sockets are operable with 1 turn-knob a bit sticky.  The shade holders are a little bent but easily straightened.  One retaining screw is loose and should be addressed to securely hold the shade.  The wire is of the thin variety and consistent with age.  Matching plugs are of a Deco-style with a white finish and are in good condition.  Surface wear is peppered about with some concentrations and adds to the antique appearance.  One base, although not visibly bent, sits slightly uneven.  Both figures are missing their left pinkies.  A magnet does not attract so I will air on the side of caution and conclude a spelter composition in the absence of more information.

This beautiful and hard to find lamp pair are shown as received some 20 years ago.

I have only dusted them and leave the rest to the buyer's discretion.  They will make a fine accent ensemble, a fabulous pair of mood lighting or an exceptional gift for all settings and occasions.  All reasonable offers welcome.

I acquired this pair with a handsome hoard of lamps and period parts from established antiquities dealers over the years for my lighting business. I am saddened by their departure but also delighted they may be lovingly received and put to good service by new caretakers.  This listing is for a genuine artifact of a bygone era that will be a pleasure to welcome into a new home.

Please ask all questions.

Make sure your shipping address 

is updated and accurate on eBay

Buyer only pays USPS shipping. I foot the cost of packing products and labor for USPS items.  I use clean, recycled materials and a heavy-duty box whenever possible.  Tall and long items can bend during transport and become damaged when passed from hand to hand.  Oversized packages, long distances and difficult terrain may require special handling.  UPS will pack, insure and deliver purchases with nearly 100% guarantee or your money back.  If used, their shipping cost will reflect the added service.

eBay's shipping calculator can be a little off or way off

1.  If you need to know your exact shipping cost, message me as early as possible with your complete shipping information.

2.  If you have already paid, I will refund or invoice you the difference.

IF POSSIBLE, DO NOT PAY UNTIL I SEND YOU AN INVOICE.
