This very rare and important American art deco table lamp was designed in the early 1930’s by Kurt Versen (1901 – 1942).  The lamp, virtually hand made, with its domed shade and flat thin base precedes the model advertised by him in the November 1934 Art & Decoration magazine…the copper domed shade has given way to a less expensive shade of cork or Toyo Paper.  The support is 1” bronze tubing.  The lamp has its original socket and works well.  We have resisted the temptation to polish off almost eighty years of patina.  The lamp is 16 ¼” high and the shade is 10” diameter.

This large American art deco table lamp was made by the Markel Company of Buffalo, New York in the 1930’s.  The lamp, in brilliant nickel, has a stepped base, speed disks in the central shaft and a double shade with the distinct Markel finial on top.  The lamp has been replated and rewired and ready for your desk or table.  The lamp is 23” high and 15” diameter

This French art deco table lamp was made by the Paris, France firm Jumo in the 1940’s.  The black Bakelite base has five sets of three raised lines as décor and a white plastic switch.  The black Bakelite shaft starts with a round cylinder and then spreads upward with raised wings.  The metal shade and cup are in cream lacquer.  A copper ring separates the base and the shaft, a copper fitting holds the cup and a copper finial is on the top.  The lamp, which is 18” high and 17” in diameter is in good original condition, except for being rewired for US electricity.

Walter Von Nessen  (1889-1943) designed this brass American art deco table lamp for the Miller Lamp Company in the 1930’s.  It features a two tier “pagoda” style shade with an opalescent peach glass finial.  The lamp is 9” in diameter and is 12” high.

This elegant table lamp was designed ca. 1935 by the French firm Dominique (Andre Domin [1883 – 1962] and Marcel Genevriere [1885 -1976]).  The gilt bronze fixture has a rectangular base supporting two gadrooned arms holding the lights.  A trapezoid pleated silk shade with tan “redone” fringe at top and bottom shields the bulbs.   Adapted to American electricity, the lamp is 14 ½” wide x 7” deep x 14” high.
