The cast brass base is substantial and well-detailed, with an ornate acanthus leaf relief that wraps the full circumference. Aged brass hardware and socket throughout; original taupe plastic side-exit plug consistent with late 1940s–early 1950s production.

Does not currently function and will require rewiring by an electrician before use. A good candidate for restoration — the porcelain body and base are both intact and in good decorative condition. See less
