End of Notice

I was told by the antiquities dealer who sold this some 20 years ago that the lamp was a vintage piece but I see no indication to support that claim.  It is a highly unusual lamp that appears to be a real flute made into a table lamp and then professionally updated with new wire, socket and heavy marble base to add weight and stability.  The flute parts move and the 3 set screws of the shade holder appear to be original and are intact.  The nature of the newer threaded socket allows shades without a flange to be used with a corresponding threaded ring.  The shade holder ID is 2 1/4 inches and the socket OD 1 1/4.

The flute lamp was in excellent condition when I received it and I kept it in storage covered in thick plastic.  There is a little bit of something built up but it still looks fantastic with a bright nickel appearance. The lamp weighs a respectable 4 lbs 12 oz before packing.  It measures 20 1/2 inches tall and 6 1/4 wide at the base.  The updated wire includes a handy 3-way cord switch.  I have given it a cursory cleaning and leave the rest to the buyer's discretion.

I acquired this piece with a handsome hoard of lamps and period parts from established antiquities dealers over the years for my lighting business. I am saddened by its departure but also delighted it 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.

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.
