Antique NB&IW Hand Painted Pink Floral Electric Parlor Lamp with Bronze Base and Filial

Beautiful Victorian / Art Nouveau "Gone with the Wind" style electric single globe parlor lamp/night light from National Brass and Ironworks (NB&IW). The lamp features its original frosted ribbed-glass shade with a hand-painted yellow floral design. The bronze base is gilded underneath and has an intricate Victorian /Art Nouveau design. It has a simple screw-on cap and filial, and a pull chain to turn the lamp on and off. I am not sure if this is a converted kerosene lamp or one of the early transitional electric lamps produced by NB&IW. This lamp is in incredible WORKING condition for its age. The colors are bright with no wear to the image. There are no chips, cracks, scratches, discoloration, or other damage observed on the shade. The shade does have paint splatter on the inside. The base is solid with a nice patina and no damage noted. NOTE: The cord has significant damage to it - please see photo. I did take the risk and plug it in to test if it worked, and it did, however, the cord would need to be repaired or replaced if you intend to use the lamp. To protect the shade, this lamp will ship in two separate boxes.

The company played a significant role in producing high-quality lighting fixtures, decorative items, and functional home goods that reflected the design aesthetics of the Victorian and early Art Nouveau periods. They were among the companies that helped transition lighting technology from gas to electric lamps, producing hybrid designs that could accommodate both technologies during the late 19th century. Though only in business for a very short time (1891-1911), NB&IW's quality, detailing, and craftsmanship have earned them a following of collectors that has continually grown over the past century.
