Beautiful large retro vintage glass swag lamp from the 1950’s with airbrushed peach flowers.
This vintage glass swag lamp is large and in perfect condition. The peach flowers were hand-painted in warm browns, oranges and yellows with black and cream stamen. The leaves are in earthy olive greens. The very light tan shading gives depth. The large glass globe is in light cream with a hint of orange. It has the look of antique ‘Peach Blow’ glass with peachy orange enamel flashing on the bottom gradually shading into the light peach color.
The flora and fauna décor is in like-new condition. It is as whole and bright as the day it was made approx. 60 years ago. Works great. Has a handy-dandy new-fangled big round on/off switch module at the end of the chain that can be attached to the wall. The switch module has wear to the plating, but it works.
There is a mark on the glass at the top of the globe near the antiqued gold-tone metal cap. It looks like some very small strips of the décor were removed when somebody removed a sticker. All else is perfect.
Nice and big vintage glass swag lamp. The globe and cap are 16 1/2“ tall with a widest girth of 31”. The wire and chain measure 11 FEET long and there’s an extra 6 feet of unchained wire to run to the wall outlet. An old green UL label is near the plug.
Probably produced by Hazel Atlas Glass in the ‘Gay Fad’ style. Back in the 1950’s ‘gay’ meant happy. Gay Fad items were decorated in florals like we see on this vintage glass swag lamp. Perfect for the sunny kitchen, bedroom or patio room. It’s a beautiful unique lamp.
