ANTIQUE BRIDGE PIANO LAMP • ADJUSTABLE SWIVEL ARM • BLUE RUFFLED ART GLASS • RESTORED & WORKINGAn exceptional antique bridge table/piano lamp dating from the late 19th to early 20th century, combining extraordinarily ornate metalwork, substantial construction, an adjustable swivel bridge arm and a spectacular blue ruffled floral art-glass shade.Weighing an impressive 12.34 lbs, this is an exceptionally substantial lamp for its approximately 18” size. The elaborate cast-metal body is richly decorated throughout with deeply sculpted acanthus foliage, floral rosettes, a fluted column, pierced ornamental details and a beautifully tiered architectural base.The design displays strong Neoclassical / Art Nouveau influence and has tremendous presence from every angle.⭐ BEAUTIFUL BLUE RUFFLED ART-GLASS SHADEThe highlight is the gorgeous frosted glass shade featuring delicate etched floral decoration and a dramatic translucent blue fluted and ruffled rim.The blue glass becomes especially beautiful when illuminated, while the etched floral pattern and deeply crimped edge make the shade equally impressive when the lamp is off.The shade is held in a traditional three-screw metal fitter.⭐ ADJUSTABLE SWIVEL BRIDGE ARMOne of the lamp’s most appealing period features is its ornate articulated bridge mechanism.Decorative rosette joints and adjustment hardware allow the lamp head/arm to swivel and reposition, originally making this style particularly useful as a piano, desk or reading lamp.The swivel mechanism still rotates smoothly and functions well.⭐ INTEGRATED BASE SWITCHRather than relying on a switch at the socket, the lamp incorporates a convenient rotary switch directly into its ornate tiered base, preserving the clean appearance of the bridge and shade.The switch operates properly.⭐ EXPERTLY REWIRED & RESTOREDThe lamp has been expertly rewired and restored for continued use while preserving its remarkable antique character.It is fitted with a Leviton keyless medium-base socket and replacement electrical cord.Tested and working beautifully.⭐ APPROXIMATE DETAILS• Height: approximately 17.5–18”, depending on arm position
