Indian Motif 1915 Antique Bridge Floor Reading Lamp, Glass Shade

A "bridge" or floor reading lamp with an arm to use behind a chair dates from about 1915, and has American Indian motifs. Cast brass, iron and white metal, this American made antique light is richly detailed.

The brass standard base socket has a pull chain switch and has been rewired. On the base are traditional Indian swastika designs, later reversed and infamously appropriated by the Nazis. There is a chip to the rim of the old toned milk glass shade, see photos.

Measurements are about 18" across and 60" tall.

Due to the size, shipping alone can be quite expensive, we recommend adding it to an existing order or store pick up.
