Since I did a thread on floor lamps before, figured I’d do one on table lamps.
I have acquired a few from thrift shops and sales.
I have a banker’s lamp in brass with green glass shade and pull chain switch. Has a GE 40 watt bulb still in it that I bought it with at thrift store. I like the look of the green glass lit up.
Another lamp that I believe is called a bouillotte lamp. Has a shallow pleated shade, brass base with 3 French horn shaped arms, each with a candle socket. A rotary switch on the base turns on one, two or all three bulbs. It came with 3 GE CFL bulbs.
An Eagle brand gooseneck lamp in brown, with a cast base with storage grooves for pencils and a small cubby for clips. I’d guess it to be from the 50s. Appears to be rewired but they used an Eagle branded socket and plug if so which is kind of ironic. It came with no bulb, so I put an LED filament bulb in it.
Another strange lamp, brown metal base with cup holding the socket and a milk glass bowl reflector. Atop the glass bowl sits a white metal bucket shaped shade. A very odd lamp, all of the light is reflected up by the bowl only to be reflected back down by the metal shade. This one I’m guessing is from the 60s or 70s, it’s Atomic looking. It was made by Tensor.
