The Howard Kron Siamese Cat TV Lamp is a vintage collectible featuring a unique Siamese Cat design from the 1950s/60s.
Back in the 1950s, when TV reception wasn't the best and images were in black and white, it was common to watch in a dark room. Soon rumors spread of eye strain so TV lamps were invented to sit on the TV and cast just a bit of light so the contrast wouldn’t be so straining. The result is we have these wild and wonderful cat lamps now that are purr-fect for mode lighting or as a night light.
Pictured with an old tungsten light bulb but can work with any regular light bulb including colored lights. Great to have a changing LED color bulb so the color changes and the cats eyes glow, green blue or red.
Condition: no chips or cracks or repairs. The felt on the base is mostly worn and some has been overheated by the lightbulb.
Size: 13 1/2" H x 9" L x 5" W (approximately)
Weight:4 lb.
