There was a time when TV lamps weren't just the decorative items they are today. When televisions first started appearing in homes, there were fears that the low light viewing would damage one's vision. But adding a bit of "ambient light" along with your TV would reduce the risk...hence, the birth of the TV lamp. (see a better history here).
Today, though, TV lamps are highly prized for both their small place in history, as well as the beautiful, decorative pieces they are.
This particular TV lamp for sale is done to resemble a conch shell, and glazed in a beautiful medium-brown glaze, with cream drip glaze accent.
The front of the lamp has a small pocket made to mimic the opening of an actual conch shell. Perhaps this was meant to hold candy or even a small plant.
The lamp is rather large, measuring about 13 inches long! It's in fantastic condition...not a ding or chip on it! I took a picture of the lamp lit up to show you not only that it still works, but to also show how shiny and reflective the glaze is on the piece! The cord and light socket are in pretty nice condition as well.
I have seen a lot of TV lamps and tried to find one like this or similar online but have never seen or found like this. Don't miss out on a chance to pick up this very nice and possibly rare hard to find lamp while you can. This would look great in any retro, tiki, nautical or beach themed decor.
