{"product_id":"pair-vintage-pressed-glass-boudoir-lamps-professionally-rewired-1940s","title":"Pair Vintage Pressed Glass Boudoir Lamps Professionally Rewired 1940s","description":"There is something particularly elegant about a true matched pair of petite vintage boudoir lamps, especially when the glasswork is this elaborate and the lamps have been thoughtfully restored for their next home.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis beautiful pair measures approximately 11.5 inches tall with 4-inch diameter bases. Their smaller proportions are characteristic of boudoir and vanity lighting, making them especially well suited for a bedroom vanity, dressing table, guest room, small bedside tables, or anywhere a full-size table lamp would overwhelm the space.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe lamps are constructed from multiple pieces of highly detailed clear pressed glass separated by warm, aged metal fittings. Each begins with a substantial circular glass base featuring a dramatic swirling sunburst pattern and sharply scalloped perimeter. Above the base are decorative beaded glass elements surrounding a vertically ribbed central glass body, creating wonderful dimension as light passes through the different patterns.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe repetition of the glass elements from one lamp to the other gives the pair the symmetry that makes matched vintage lighting particularly desirable. Their clear glass also makes them remarkably versatile: they can work beautifully in a traditional bedroom, romantic cottage interior, French-inspired dressing room, collected English country setting, or a more restrained interior where one exceptional vintage element provides contrast.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMeasurements:\u003cbr\u003eApproximately 11.5\" tall × 4\" diameter at the base, each.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMaker \/ Manufacturer:\u003cbr\u003eUnknown. No manufacturer attribution is being made.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEstimated Circa: 1930s–1950s\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBased upon their construction, scale, decorative glasswork and surviving metal components, I estimate these lamps to date to approximately the second quarter\/mid-20th century. Because no manufacturer's mark or original documentation has been identified, the date is an informed estimate rather than a documented production date.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProfessionally Cleaned \u0026amp; Rewired\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese lamps have received the kind of restoration that is particularly important with vintage lighting.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe pair has been professionally cleaned and professionally rewired. Both lamps have new sockets and new gold braided cloth-covered electrical wiring, chosen to complement the character and warm metal tones of the original lamps while replacing aged electrical components.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe result is a matched pair that retains the appearance and character of vintage lighting without the distraction of deteriorated old wiring.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe lamps are shown illuminated in the lifestyle photograph to illustrate their beautiful appearance when in use. Clip-on shades and light bulbs are not included.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCondition\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe pair presents in exceptional vintage condition and has been professionally cleaned. The clear glass is remarkably attractive, allowing the detailed pressed patterns and dimensional beading to remain the visual focus.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs genuine vintage lamps, the surviving metal components retain natural age-related coloration and patina. Please examine all detailed photographs closely, particularly the metal fittings, glass edges, bases and electrical components, as the photographs form an important part of the condition description.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo claim is being made that these lamps are newly manufactured or cosmetically new. Their age and surviving original elements are part of their character.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA Note About the Glass\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese are described as pressed glass rather than cut crystal. The glass incorporates several decorative patterns, including ribbed, beaded, scalloped and radiating elements that interact beautifully with light.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile some similar vintage lamps are marketed using terms such as \"crystal,\" I prefer not to make that material claim without documentation. Likewise, the beaded decoration is reminiscent of period candlewick-style glasswork, but I am not attributing these lamps to Imperial Glass or any other specific manufacturer without supporting evidence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor the collector or design-minded buyer, this is an unusually attractive opportunity to acquire two genuinely matched vintage glass boudoir lamps that have already undergone professional cleaning and electrical restoration. Their petite scale allows them to provide the symmetry of a matching pair without requiring large bedside tables or an oversized vanity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThey would be particularly beautiful fitted with small clip-on pleated, gathered silk, or parchment shades appropriate to their scale.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe first image is an AI-generated lifestyle illustration for display inspiration only.

I specialize in authentic pieces that have lived a full life before finding their way to my shop. Because of their age, these items should be expected to display the honest signs of time and use that make them unique—such as patina, finish wear, fading, scratches, dings, minor imperfections, age-related discoloration, or other characteristics consistent with decades of history. I make every effort to provide clear photographs, accurate descriptions, and note any significant condition issues; however, no vintage or antique item should be expected to present or perform like a newly manufactured product. By purchasing, you acknowledge that normal age-related wear and variations are part of the character and authenticity of vintage and antique pieces.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAged Metal Statement\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAged metals—including sterling silver, silver plate, brass, and copper—naturally develop character over time. Silver will tarnish (a normal oxidation process), while brass and copper may darken, dull, or develop patina and verdigris. I do not polish these finishes, as many collectors value the depth, warmth, and authenticity they bring. You may also see light wear, including areas where silver plate has thinned to reveal underlying metal, along with age spots, surface variations, or minor discoloration. These are not defects, but expected signs of age that reflect the history and unique character of each piece.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReturn Policy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReturns may be requested within 7 days of confirmed delivery.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you choose to return an item because it is not to your taste, does not meet your personal expectations, or you simply change your mind, you will be responsible for both the original shipping cost and the return shipping cost.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI specialize in vintage and antique items that have been previously loved and are expected to display signs of age and use. Every listing includes detailed descriptions and numerous photographs to accurately represent each item's condition, including any notable wear or imperfections. Please review the description and all photos carefully before purchasing, as normal age-related characteristics are not considered defects or grounds for a \"not as described\" return.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf your item arrives damaged or differs materially from its description, please contact me promptly so I can work with you to resolve the issue.","brand":"None","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53265840636180,"sku":"ElectricLamps-ClearBoudoir-01","price":395.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1009\/1465\/9604\/files\/adbd4f10-8a27-4733-9b29-cba3ecfcec27.jpg?v=1785189022","url":"https:\/\/needleworkfarmhouse.com\/products\/pair-vintage-pressed-glass-boudoir-lamps-professionally-rewired-1940s","provider":"Needlework Farmhouse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
