Rare original Art Deco GUTH-FAN
I have only seen this lamp once before in a picture. You just don’t find these. This is a perfect working example that runs smooth and quiet. It takes 3 newly wired candelabra bulbs and 12 milk glass panels. The glass sits in a decorative ring of cast brass spikes. The spikes look as if then came right off the Statue-Of-Liberty’s crown. the motor is signed Guth-Fan…. 16″ diameter x 28″… $3400
