Background Info and Provenance

A nude lady table lamp from the art deco period. This an AUTHENTIC ART DECO piece- made around the 1940’s (GUARANTEED). Every aspect of its construction confirms its original. There have been copies done of this iconic design- obviously the originals provide very strong investment appeal. If this design is still popular over 60 years later the appeal will be everlasting. Values of these should increase with inflation and probably beyond inflation as they will only get harder to buy as the years pass. The mottled-textured glass from the 1940’s is distinctive of that era and is getting increasingly hard to get. This deco pane of glass strengthens the investment appeal of this antique piece.

The lamp-base is cast metal. I’m not sure what the metal is. It appears to be silver-plated as it shows green aging. This piece would polish up easily in a few minutes but I love the aged appearance so have left it as is. The plug and cord is the same as other deco lamps I’ve had in the past. Also the light fitting section is bakerlite which went out of production in the 1940’s or 50’s.

I love the presence of this lamp. It certainly gets attention and its deco provenance is obvious the second you look at it. There are similar pieces around but many look cheap. (Interestingly the copies are not that cheap to buy). This is the real deal- the quality is brilliant. Look at it 60-odd years on.

This piece will be passed on from one generation to the next. After most modern pieces have ended up in the bin this piece will still be doing what it was designed to do. There are very few better ways to invest in your home and in the environment.

2005

This lamp is in excellent condition for its age. The cord and plug both work well and are in excellent condition. This lamp works well (as shown in the photos and I’ve used it at home for a few months). Because it’s used, I need to state for legal reasons that it’s a condition of purchase you have it checked by a qualified electrician prior to use. The crystal sections are about 70 years old but present very well. The crystal may show minor signs of use but nothing is noticeable at all or effects the display of this beautiful piece. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Measurements. Total height- 27cm. 12cm across at its widest. Weight- 1.21kg. It’s an above average height for these lamps- probably the tallest one I've had. Read my 1200+ eBay feedback comments (ALL for vintage furniture/decorative arts SALES) to be assured that I strive to describe all my items as accurately as possible and will only stock items in excellent condition.

PICK-UP . . . from 30 or 40 minutes North of BRISBANE city is accepted but postage is preferred as my home is hard to find. Because of this I will nominate a friend or family member for you to collect the item from if you need collection. Pick-up in person must be worked out prior to purchase- thank you. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ POSTAGE is offered internationally. All our Decorative Arts pieces are delivered through AUSTRALIA POST. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ POSTAGE ESTIMATES. . . . ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ To BRISBANE- most of our pieces cost $15 - $18 to send. . . To SYDNEY or MELBOURNE- Small Vase- around $20 - $23, Medium Vase- around $20 - $25, Large Vase or Medium Table Lamp- around $25 - $30. Let us know if you need an EXACT COST for postage prior to purchase. The above postage estimates INCLUDE $2.95 for a signature on delivery. . . INSURANCE against being lost or broken in transit up to the value of $200 is included in the estimates above. If your vase is cheaper or more expensive than $200 this will effect your postage fee slightly. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A BOXING FEE of $3.00 is included in the fee above to cover the cost of searching for and storing used packing materials. With the millions of cardboard boxes that end up as landfill every year we don’t believe in supporting the manufacture of boxes for post. Instead of buying new boxes and packing materials and passing this cost onto our customers we spend considerable time sourcing used boxes and then fashioning boxes to fit each item. We do the same for bubble-wrap and foam pieces. This requires a large investment of time, energy, ingenuity, organization and storage space- it is much easier and cheaper to buy new packing materials but I can’t justify taking the easy way out when so much packing material ends up as landfill every day. Our $3.00 charge does little to pay for the time (and storage) needed do this and to pack your item (there is also the time needed to get your package to the post office). This is something we’re happy to do for our customers and the environment. We appreciate your support in this area.

We accept DIRECT BANK DEPOSIT. We send photographic ID of the store owner (Michael Grealy) to all customers at the point of sale, along with media articles about iNVISeDGE with photos of Michael Grealy in them (most of these articles are about 10 years old). Your payment will be paid into an Australian ANZ bank account under the name Michael Grealy (or iNVISeDGE). Please read our ebay feedback spanning more than 15 years for irrefutable proof of our online trading history and reputation. Ebay feedback can ONLY be left by LEGITIMATE PAYING customers! Additionally please be aware that in Australia ALL consumers are protected BY LAW if the goods or services they buy are not as described. (But this should be of no concern- in our first 15 years of trading we have over 1150 positive ebay feedback comments and ZERO negative feedback comments.) ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On occasions a DIRECT BANK DEPOSIT can be made at the time of collection. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On occasions CASH payment when you collect your item may also be available. Confirm prior to purchase if you need this. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Other payment methods are available but problematic and may incur additional fees. Tell us prior to purchase if you are unable to feel 100% confident with our trading history and payment methods so we can negotiate something else with you.

THIS ITEM IS LOCATED IN SYDNEY.

Pick-up from Sydenham (about 8km South of SYDNEY CITY) is accepted- professional delivery is preferred.

PLEASE NOTE- I live in Brisbane and run this business from Brisbane. PICK-UPS and VIEWINGS will be facilitated by a sub-contractor (someone who is NOT an employee of iNVISeDGE). I recommend that customers use a specialist furniture carrier for larger furniture items to protect their investment- these people know what they’re doing and come with what’s needed to look after your investment.

Due to new ebay regulations which make more money for ebay, iNVISeDGE will no longer organize the freight for our customers. We have organized all our customers freight for over 11 years but ebay has now made this impossible. We now guide buyers as closely as possible in the area of freight (for no additional cost). Ebay now charge sellers a fee to arrange freight (and postage) for buyers (and a Paypal fee as well when buyers use Paypal). For this item we would need to give ebay up to $60 just to organize the freight for you on top of ebay’s other fees. (There are about 6 fees now.) I will not pay ebay $60 (or anything) to make the transport arrangements for my customers. I have to go out of my way to provide this service (and get paid nothing to do it). I don’t understand why I’d have to pay ebay to do it.

I will help customers in every way possible with freight arrangements. I made a conscious choice to get rid of my vehicle in 2009 (for environmental reasons). Since then EVERY invisedge item has been transited by a freight carrier at least one-way (usually both ways). Therefore I have a depth of experience and knowledge in this area. I will inform all iNVISeDGE customers of the transport carriers best suited to their job, what each carrier charges and their strengths.

This extra freight consultation service will be provided FREE OF CHARGE TO ALL iNVISeDGE CUSTOMERS. (This service is currently charged to non-iNVISeDGE customers at $20. Knowing who to use- who’s reliable, experienced, good at handling items and cost-effective is most of the challenge with furniture freight.)

Customers will be in control of their own freight so they will know exactly what’s going on but at any time they also have the option to consult with us. My experience in the area will ensure you’re looked after and the freight process will be seamless and easy.

Delivery to the SYDNEY AREA will be ABOUT $-$. Freight prices will depend on a variety of factors including delivery issues, your access situation, where you live, how flexible you are with when delivery can occur and the type of carrier you choose.

1.51 cbm for freight for BOTH PIECES see above (2^nd section). ALL freight estimates include insurance and the use of properly trained removalists who wrap items in thick removalist blankets and restrain items so no movement occurs during transit.

ESTIMATE for BRISBANE delivery- APPROX $ if the access is easy- STANDARD DELIVERY (approx. 2 – 5 weeks)

ESTIMATE MELBOURNE delivery- APPROX $ if the access is easy-STANDARD DELIVERY (approx. 2 – 5 weeks)

Please read all of the above section before bidding as it will provide all the information you require on freight or collection of this item.

This sofa and matching chair are BOTH in excellent vintage condition. They’re about 50-60 years old and both pieces present very well for the age of the suite. The frame is solid timber and extremely sturdy with NO breaks, NO repairs, NO movement in any joint area, NO cracks in the timber (nothing of that sort). The timber legs may have a few minor surface marks but nothing that ruins the suite. I love the quality of this sofa the most out of everything. Note the expert substructure with galvanised bolts, the steel spring seating system and the latex foam under the seats. Latex is the premium choice and will last for many years (virtually forever) when its covered with leather. The only things that can degrade latex cushioning is direct sunlight and moisture so with premium leather on top latex will outlast anything else and this has. After 50-60 years the foam in still in brilliant condition and with the current upholstery should last a lifetime if used with some sense. The fabric undersides of the loose cushions show aging- mainly wear but this is not noticed on display and only noticed when the cushions are flipped over. This is of no concern but what it does is verify that this leather is very likely to be original. The dustcovers underneath the sofa are gone (they would have been getting very “ratty” some time ago and were removed). There’s no indication that the leather on the frame has been re-upholstered. It’s just that this is the highest quality leather money can buy. Look at it after about 50 years! It’s wearing beautifully and will continue to do so. It has minor signs of age and use but nothing that warrants a mention. The leather has a few minor scuffs but nothing that effects the display of this suite at all. The suite shows signs of use- NO abuse and NO noticeable damage. Just minor creases. NO cracks into the leather. NO cuts, NO splits, NO holes from wear. There’s a knock to one corner that’s created a small hole in the leather on that back corner (less than 1cm). This is never noticed as it’s below eye-level and this area has been colour corrected- it’s virtually impossible to spot (and because it’s from knocking the corner of the lounge and NOT from use it’s of no consequence).
