Art Deco Crown Electric Owlite

$85 USDArt Deco Crown Electric Owlite

Collectibles:Lamps, Lighting
Just as Owl's see in the dark so can you with this unusual little lamp by Crown Electric. Made of metal (handle and base) with frosted glass (Owl) it was originally created as a night light for 1920's - 30's children (but we'll never tell if YOU decide to keep it....) It stands 5.5" to the top of the handle and is about 3" in diameter. It runs on batteries (two C's, NOT supplied) and takes a 3v. flashlight bulb. The best news of all? It works! It does show its age via rust in places and wear to ...
Unusual Art Deco Parrot Lamp Base from Bulgaria

$85 USDUnusual Art Deco Parrot Lamp Base from Bulgaria

Collectibles:Lamps, Lighting
If you appreciate the uncommon yet useful, the unexpected yet elegant, then perhaps you should give this porcelain Parrot a second look. He comes to us from across the years (1920's) and across the miles (Southeast Europe) and was fashioned to be an exotic table lamp. There is a small hole at the back for a cord, a larger hole in the front for a socket or switch, and a hole in the Parrot's mouth should you wish the socket to hang. The base is hand painted in vivid yet soft hues, giving it a ...
Art Deco Parrot Lamp

$800 USDArt Deco Parrot Lamp

Collectibles:Lamps, Lighting
A very cool Art Deco table lamp from the 1930's, made of cast iron, and sporting a helpful Parrot at the top. Birdie Boy is holding a ring in his beak, which attaches to a metal "cage" that holds both the socket and bulb. Below the bird is an onyx ball, followed by more decorative cast iron. The lamp has an older, though not original cord attached, with its original switch on the base. I am pleased to report that the lamp is in excellent vintage condition, still retaining most of its original ...

You get the whole Cockatoo and Kaboodle with this stylish lamp from Italy, for not only do you get two 'Toos for the price of one you also get old world elegance and a light at the end of the tunnel (or hallway!) Tis a lamp of contrasts that fit together well - the base being of wood, the Cockatoos of pottery, the column & switch of metal, and the shade of material. The birds are elegantly appointed in white glaze with hand painted tannish-brown florals, which mimic the base's hue, which in turn ...
Heintz & Co. Cockatoo Duo Perfume Lamp

Collectibles:Lamps, Lighting
A Too-ly precious perfume lamp from Germany of a pair of Cockatoos, one totally absorbed by a bug on the side (don't worry, it's porcelain!) and the other just wondering if it's going to crawl on his foot! The lamp features a well for your favorite scent on the pink Cockatoo's flight feather, and has smaller holes for disbursement surrounding the well and on the side of the second Too's neck (both areas are in the back). The lamp is made of ceramic and has been hand painted with a shiny glaze ...
Vintage Parrot Duo Lamp

$135 USDVintage Parrot Duo Lamp

Collectibles:Lamps, Lighting
Now here's something that is awfully hard to part with - a gorgeous vintage porcelain lamp with both a colorful Parrot and Greenwing Macaw, perched on opposite branches of a tree. The birds are brightly colored and seem to be posed in a stance of expectation - as if they might fly off at any minute! The lamp is turned off & on via a push switch on the brass socket and still has its original cord and original bakelite plug. It works just fine as it is, but you may want to rewire it as I don't ...

Vintage Brass Lamp w/ Glass Shade & Crystals

$200 USDVintage Brass Lamp w/ Glass Shade & Crystals

Collectibles:Lamps, Lighting
An unusual yet highly decorative brass lamp featuring a glass floral shade and a removable metal ring in the middle that sports not only sparkling crystal prisms but a bird on each side (my guess is an Eagle or some sort of bird-of-prey, see pic). The stem of the lamp is also lovely with a stylized leaf pattern and the lamp is turned off & on via a pull chain on the back. It is also well made and heavy, weighing in at 10 pounds all by itself. The shade is in great condition, with just a touch of ...
