My grandmom’s lamp

Hello all, my aunt gave me this lamp from her mom, my gramdmom. I have searched the web and cannot find any info on this. Hopefully someone has info. I’m so curious.

 

Based on this picture, I was going to say the date was 1950s. But looking at the style, and the base, I'm now wondering if it isn't 1970s.
Do you know if the lamp been rewired?


Can you show a better picture of the base please, that might help determine 50s or 70s.


Lamps were often put together by lamp companies. They would import the ceramic or glass, get the metal parts, and the electrical parts from other companies. Assemble the lamp and sell them under their own name.

Again wait for others to comment.

 

I’m not sure none of that side of my family is around anymore but my dad and he has no ideaI will take better pic f base

 

I’m not sure if any better of a picture

 

This is a Chinese hat stand converted into a lamp. Difficult to determine any more details from the pictures, sorry.

 

Thank you so much!

 

here are some more photos, does this help better light on my phone

 

One of the determiners of age is the proportion of the shade to the base (assuming shade is original.) That's why good quality photographs are important.

I have no idea how old the lamp fittings are but the hat stand is quite nicely decorated and looks Republic period, somewhere around the 1920's or so. Very good quality.

 

Wow thank you so much!

 

After seeing the base, I'm thinking this might be a homemade lamp.

What does the plug look like? Are the two prongs even sized or is one bigger than the other?

@blooey would a hat stand have been open on both ends? Otherwise it had to be drilled which will devalue the hat stand.

 

Probably drilled then as you suggest @clutteredcloset49, not open on base, hat stand is like a vase with holes on the sides

 

Thanks.
