DEVILBISS PERFUME LAMP Blue Azure
$355.00
DeVilbiss
blue glass perfume lamp. It is generally accepted
that these were made/distributed by The DeVilbiss
Co., based Toledo, Ohio. The base is a silver
cast filagree base that holds a Christmas
Tree sized light bulb. It stands 5' tall and
4' wide. When you pour a little perfume in
the recessed top of the bulbous shade and
turn the light on, it heats up the liquid
to give off a warm glow, and pleasant escense
in the room. The original silk wrapped electric
cord is still intact, and the light works.
There is some shreding of the silk wrap, but
the cord is still safe. Just for appearances,
you might want to replace the cord at some
point. The blue glass shade is in very good
condition. There are a couple of tiny chips
on the edge where it sits down into the holder,
but they do not show when seated, and are
not major. We would guess this item to be
from the 1920s or 1930s. A nice addition to
your collection, or a great start to new one!
