Beautiful vintage Maitland-Smith style hot air balloon table lamp featuring a stunning blown glass globe with an amber and tortoiseshell-like pattern. When illuminated, the glass glows a rich orange and creates an especially striking display.
The lamp has an elaborate dark metal basket and framework with decorative hanging tassels, ornate detailing, and a substantial round pedestal base. The combination of the hand-blown style glass and highly detailed metalwork gives this lamp a distinctive high-end vintage look.
The glass globe has a beautiful irregular pattern and coloration that really comes to life when the lamp is turned on. Excellent statement piece for a living room, office, library, study, or eclectic/vintage interior.
Features:
Vintage Maitland-Smith style design
Large amber/tortoiseshell-pattern blown glass globe
Ornate dark metal hot air balloon framework
Decorative hanging tassels
Detailed pedestal base

Condition:
Very good vintage condition with attractive overall patina and character consistent with age. The glass has a beautiful appearance both illuminated and unlit. Please examine all photos carefully for the exact cosmetic condition and included components.
The very base has a chipped bottom, but that are seats behind the metal ring so it is not visible and still very stable.
A truly eye-catching vintage table lamp and a great decorative piece for collectors of Maitland-Smith-style furnishings, blown glass lighting, and unusual architectural/decorative lamps.
