This French art deco torchiere dates from the 1930’s. The wooden base has a nickel collar which supports the wooden shaft of increasing diameter. The shaft is interrupted by a nickel donut and terminates at a nickel ball. A two step nickel shade holds the socket, which can accept an up to 300 W light bulb. The wood has been refinished, the nickel replated and the lamp rewired for American electricity. The torchiere is 68” high and the shade is 20” in diameter.
