N/A Pair of Vintage Boudoir Lamps – Clear Swirl Design

These vintage boudoir lamps, also known as dresser or vanity lamps, are characteristic of the Mid-Century Modern (MCM) era, likely dating from the 1940s to the 1960s. They feature clear swirled glass bodies, decorative scalloped spacer disks, and heavy square block glass bases. History and Identification: Boudoir lamps became popular in the 1920s with the rise of home electrification, designed specifically for bedroom nightstands or vanities to provide soft, ambient light for applying makeup. Manufacturer: These lamps often utilize Leviton sockets. While Leviton is primarily a hardware manufacturer, many vintage lamp makers used their components. Design Traits: The swirled pattern and geometric square bases are hallmarks of Art Deco influence that persisted into the mid-20th century. Age Indicators: Older versions like this often have original cord sets where both plug prongs are the same size, whereas lamps from the late 1970s or newer have one prong larger than the other. These lamps have the original wiring and are functional as is, but can be easily reworked if desired. Appx dimensions: 11.75”H x 3.75”W (at base), 2.75”W (at widest point of swirl)
