This is a gorgeous surviving piece of lighted functional art from the iconic 1920s-30s era. The lamp was originally some sort of sun rays medical light that used carbon rods arcing to mimic sun light similar to welding rods, it has since been converted into a usable lamp at some. The housing is just gorgeous! The lamp is primarily cast Iron, the large ornate base and large art deco face along with the front door frame and hinge joints are all cast iron. The sides, top and back are a heavy gauge steel with louver venting slots. The side carry handles appear to be a black wood. The outer finish is original dark bronze/Brown textured hammertone with slight greenish hughes in the ornate portions. The light looks gorgeous as it is or sky’s the limit depending on the look your after if you choose to modify to your own personal tastes. MEASUREMENTS– This lamp is large measuring 19 1/4″ tall x 13 3/4″ wide x 10 deep at the cast iron base. Please keep in mind the lamp is quite heavy due to the cast iron portions. The light has lots of character and finish imperfections such as patina, scratching, and some finish worn away on the sides. There is a chip on the inner side of the glass knob on the front door panel (Pictured last photo). More photos available upon request if needed. NOTE -Large round ornate bulb will NOT be included, used for display photos only. Thank you for looking! NOTE- As with any antique lighting, always have inspected prior to use for safety and installed by a qualified professional.
