Item description:

Description: A matching pair of early 20th-century antique electric boudoir table lamps or candlestick bases. Sculpted from heavy cast metal with a deep bronzed or blackened patina, featuring ornate Art Nouveau floral reliefs on the trefoil bases and leafy detailing on the pillars. The tops are fitted with historical paddle-key socket assemblies and accompanied by original style, cloth-wrapped electrical cords.

Dimensions: Each lamp fixture stands approximately 7.25 inches tall to the top of the metal socket housing.

Markings: The historical paddle-switch keys features an embossed stylized letter hallmark reading "H" within a circle, denoting historical production by Hubbell. The underside of the hollow cast bases display vintage embossed foundry number markings.

Condition: Significant antique wear consistent with age. The cast metal stems show heavy surface patina, accumulated dust, and localized oxidation. The original cloth-covered wiring is heavily frayed, worn, and split from age; the set is sold strictly as-is for restoration, parts, or professional rewiring before use. Sockets show inner debris but retain intact interior porcelain and copper screw threads.
