Rare Art Deco Vaseline Glass Table Lamp | UV Reactive Uranium & Metal Base

Description

An exceptional, fresh-to-market find for antique lighting collectors and dealers. This authentic Art Deco desk lamp features a stunning swirl-patterned, pale yellow glass shade that reveals itself as true Vaseline/Custard glass, emitting a brilliant fluorescent green glow under a UV blacklight. The shade is elegantly mounted on a heavy, traditionally styled dark metal base, complete with a classic pull-chain mechanism Provenance & History: This piece comes directly from a private family collection with a clear history. Originally sourced from the current owner's grandmother's antique store in Glenwood, Minnesota, it later served as a cherished desk lamp. For the past 20 years, it has been carefully packed away and stored completely untouched. Pieces with this level of undisturbed family history are highly sought after Condition & Specifications: Glass Condition: Excellent vintage condition. The intricate swirl texture is beautifully preserved without visible damage. Functionality: The lamp was fully operational when last used, but please note it has been in safe storage and unplugged for exactly two decades. Base: Heavy dark metal (likely spelter or brass with a dark patina) with original pull-chain hardware. Location & Logistics for Buyers: Item Location: Minneapolis, MN (Twin Cities area). Fulfillment: Due to the rare and extremely fragile nature of the original UV-reactive shade, the owner is highly hesitant to use standard shipping services. Local pickup in the Twin Cities area or specialized white-glove antique transport is strongly preferred.
