This Vintage Art Deco Spelter Lamp with Green Globe and Two Ladies Playing Musical Instruments is in excellent condition. It is difficult to find the original globe with art deco lamps but this is the original globe. This spelter lamp has with two ladies in dresses one playing the piano and the other sitting on the piano playing the banjo. Above the girls is a pedestal that that holds a decorative green frosted shade. This shade is original, this lamp does have original securing screws. The lamp is about 12 ¾” tall and the base is about 8" wide and about 3 ½” deep. It has a flip switch that works. The lamp does work and appears to have the original cord but it is old and is spliced with tape in one place (might consider replacing it). I put a new felt bottom on it. I could not find any makers marks. But it appears to be from the Frankart era. Circa 1930's. It is exquisite! The deco ladies have 1930's hairdos, and they are wearing 1930's dresses. One lady is sitting on a baby grand piano and playing a banjo. The other deco lady is sitting on a piano bench and is playing the piano. A little history: Spelter is an inexpensive alloy that is easily cast and worked, spelter was used from the 1860s in the manufacture of candlesticks, clock cases, tableware, and light fixtures. In the early 20th century, sculptors such as Jacques Limousin used spelter heavily in their manufacture of Art Nouveau and Art Deco figurines and other ornaments. Spelter is relatively soft and brittle. It can be distinguished from bronze by scratching its patina: untarnished spelter is white, while bronze is yellow.
