Art Deco Table Lamp in Holophane Prismatic Glass and Metal a pair available

About the Item

Refitted Train Light in Metal and Holophane Prismatic Glass Dome a pair available. Exceptional table lamp, formerly a train ceiling light, and we're lucky enough to have two of them. The silver-colored metal structure is worked with cut-edge shapes, creating a beautiful material effect. On the circle surrounding the prismatic glass dome, a net of half-spheres decorates the frame. The light is soft to the eye but effective, and can be dimmed to the desired level by choosing the right bulb or using a dimmer switch. A chrome reflector inside the globe enhances light reflection. With a little DIY, it can be mounted as a ceiling fixture. Prismatic glass was invented by the Holophane company in the United States in the 19th century and existed in the UK and France. The same prismatic glass dome shapes can be found in larger versions at Paris metro entrances. The glass dome is signed Holophane and numbered. There are two markings on the underside of the base which have yet to be identified. Standard LED-compatible bayonet bulb holder, re-electrified with new transparent cable. Dimensions: H31cm Diameter 22.5cm Total width 27cm Base D12 cm
