This is a quite unusal cast iron bridge arm lamp with instricate detail unique design. I think this from the art deco or art nouveau period (about 1940's). It is in such great condition that it has just enough patina to authenticate its age. It is in absolutely stunning condition. As you can see from one of the photos, it works as it should. Just screw a fitter on the end of the socket and put on the glass, mica or fabric shade of your choice. This is one of the finest antiques (or older vintage) pieces I have had the pleasure of offering. It stands straight and the rod and bridge arm are very tight. Beautiful antique color that will match most luxurious accommodations where antique/vintage lighting is desired.
