Description :
Vintage Milk Glass Hobnail Hurricane Lamp & Floral Table Lamp Lot This curated vintage lighting lot features two distinct table lamps that together showcase classic mid-century American decorative styles. The pairing blends textured milk glass elegance with traditional floral detailing, making it ideal for layered, collected interiors. The first lamp is a tall milk glass hobnail hurricane lamp in the iconic “Gone With the Wind” style. It features a large hobnail globe with a matching hobnail mid-section, brass-tone hardware, and a square marble base. This style became especially popular in the 1950s–1960s and remains highly sought after for its sculptural presence and soft light diffusion. The second lamp is a vintage milk glass table lamp with a floral transfer decoration. It is mounted on an ornate metal base with classical scroll detailing, offering a more traditional aesthetic that complements the cleaner lines of the hurricane lamp. Together, the lamps provide contrast while maintaining a cohesive vintage feel. Dimensions: Condition: Notes: Estimated Value:
