Featured MCM lamp

Auction lamp. Paid $22

32" tall (base to element part where bulb screws in), 7" wide at base. Underwriters Laboratory brand, non grounded plug (so....vintage??)

Shade a bit beat up sadly...

Ready to sell...thoughts? Walnut or teak ? ( fingers crossed!)

 

It's always important to retain the original shade -- regardless of condition -- as it can be recovered.

Is it like this one? Tony Paul for Westwood they say.

Fab shade.

thank you Debora very helpful, I didn't think of recovering!

 

OMG....if I could get half of that!!!???!! Not sure if the "designer" shade makes up a lot of the value....or the fact its on Chairish (which I'm assuming is fairly inflated...?)

 

So I always thought Underwriters laboratories was the brand, that is the only marking on it....my husband just informed me that that is the organization that does the "rating"....a regulatory type agency....??

 

OK, I'm an idiot...I just saw the westwood UNDER the other stuff....OMG...do I have something here??

 

Don't think a table lamp made even today would have a grounded plug. It would have a polarized plug, one that fits into the outlet in only one way. Still UL approved.

 

I don't know & know zero about MCM but it COULD be a WINNER!
Looks very close to SIS lamp. Yes, Chairish prices are insane but even at a 50% discount you still scored!
HAPPY NEW YEAR! & all that, a good way to start the year!

 

Thank you James!! I'm super stoked! I think someone said --- before I knew it was an westwood--- they thought i could get $250-300 for it....so it being more of a brand name I'm gonna shoot a bit higher and see what sticks! Yay!
