Description: Dating to the late 1930’s, this outstanding art deco lamp is a tribute to the use of man-made materials in American industrial design. Catalin was an early phenolic resin and was used in manufacturing to simulate the look of gemstones. Due to the intensive labor involved in fashioning the material, it all but disappeared in use after WWII when manpower was at a premium and other, more malleable, plastics became widely available. Catalin has become highly valued by collectors and there is certainly a good share of it in this lamp. Few such unique catalin lamps survive this day. The gold foil lined paper shade included with your purchase accentuates its deep marbled tones. This lamp has been restored and refurbished and is in excellent working order. It was completely disassembled for restoration. All catalin components have been cleaned and polished. The original push switch socket interior has been retained and bulb contacts have been cleaned and polished. All wiring has been refurbished new vintage style fabric covered cord and appointed with new vintage style plug. The double-clip gold foil lined paper shade shown in the photos is included with your purchase. This lamp accepts a standard medium Edison base light bulb.
