ITEM: This is a very nice high end art deco antique C. 1930 Markel desk lamp. Conceived in a streamlined machine age modernist manner, this is really spectacular as seen in images here. The base is black bakelite with chromium banding and the shade is patinated metal that has its wonderful patina intact and resembles bronze as such. This is unmarked but your research like ours will determine it to be made by Markel, who made some dramatic and now iconic important lamps during the years of the art deco movement here in America.
Measures 19" to top of finial the bottom of the bell shaded shade measures about 10 1/2" across in diameter and this weighs 4 lbs. 14 ounces. The cord is not original to the lamp and looks usable.
CONDITION: Very good working condition with a nice patina, no major dents or issues this lamp shows but very light signs of age and wear. Please use images here as your best condition report!!
Guaranteed to be 100% vintage and original from Grapefruit Moon Gallery.
