{"product_id":"french-cut-glass-ball-table-lamp","title":"English Cut Glass Ball Table Lamp","description":"\u003cp class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\"\u003eThere’s something particularly good about the simplicity of this one. A great, almost perfectly spherical piece of pale green glass, scattered with hand-cut dimples and topped with a rather beautiful old nickel-plated fitting.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe glass is thick and wonderfully watery, with the faint green tint and small irregularities that give older glass so much of its appeal. Those cut dimples are what really make it though. Polished into the surface like little lenses, they catch whatever happens to be around them — magnifying it, turning it upside down or breaking it into strange floating fragments within the glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lamp holder is stamped \u003cstrong\u003eMade in England\u003c\/strong\u003e and retains its original double bone switch. It's a particularly lovely bit of period detailing: beautifully tactile, completely functional and made with rather more ceremony than a light switch strictly requires. The nickel has dulled and mellowed with age and sits very nicely against the cool colour of the glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe flex exits directly from the side of the fitting and the lamp has been rewired in grey twisted fabric-covered cable. We've paired it with a simple white cotton shade, which keeps the whole thing suitably uncomplicated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLit, the shade gives a warm, soft light while the cut glass catches little flashes and distortions around the room. Unlit, that great lump of glass is quite capable of looking after itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA very good lamp, made from very little.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e England\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Circa early to mid-20th century\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pale green cut glass, nickel-plated metal and bone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesign:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spherical glass body with individually cut and polished dimples\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLamp holder:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nickel-plated fitting stamped \u003cem\u003eMade in England\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSwitch:\u003c\/strong\u003e Double bone switch\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShade:\u003c\/strong\u003e White cotton shade included\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWiring:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rewired with grey twisted fabric-covered flex\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCondition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVery good vintage condition.
