Lot 331: A Collection of Decorative Metalware and Foliate Table Lamp
A collection of decorative household and garden-style items comprising a table lamp, two galvanized metal buckets, a copper-toned watering can, a ceramic lid, and a cast metal trivet. The table lamp is constructed with a dark brown finished metal frame in the form of a branching tree. The leaves are crafted from translucent amber-toned moulded plastic or glass with textured vein detailing, designed to diffuse light from small internal bulbs. The lamp is fitted with a white plastic electrical cord featuring an integrated inline switch. The collection includes a square galvanized metal container and a large circular galvanized metal bucket with a wire handle and wooden grips. Contained within the large bucket is a smaller galvanized pail featuring a burlap band and a grey fabric flower attachment. The ceramic lid is decorated with a blue and white transfer print in a traditional Dutch style, depicting windmills, sailing vessels, and rural buildings. A cast metal trivet, finished in blue, is formed in a pierced decorative pattern and features an integral bird figure. A small copper-finished metal watering can with a slender spout is also present. The square galvanized container bears a small orange rectangular adhesive label reading 331.
Condition report:
The foliate lamp appears intact with all translucent leaves present (photo 1). The galvanized metal items show surface oxidation, minor scratches, and dulling to the finish consistent with utility (photos 1 and 2). The blue finish on the cast iron trivet shows minor wear and loss at the edges (photo 2). The ceramic lid shows no visible chips or cracks to the upper surface (photo 2). The electrical components are pre-owned; this item requires testing by a qualified professional before connection to a mains supply.
