THIS IS NOW SOLD Antique GAS STATION / BARN Radial Wave Shade LAMP with BRACKET and CAST IRON POLE Industrial

THIS IS NOW SOLD For sale here is an antique pole lamp featuring a radial wave shade. It was the kind that was often found on the sides of GAS STATION / SERVICE STATION and also BARNS and other INDUSTRIAL buildings. This one clearly served outside for a long while. The poles cast iron surface has just the right kind of pitting and rust that lets you know its age. The radial wave shade also shows its age with different layers of paint and wear that you only get from years of exposure to the elements. The pole does have a makers name on it near where the shade connects to the pole, but I cant quite make out who it is. The whole thing measures roughly 59 inches long, and 25 inches high. The shades measures 18 inches across the diameter. It does have a small hole in the radial shade, and a piece of the pole has broken off where the shade ties into it. Everything else looks pretty solid. If you are looking for the rustic industrial look this is the lamp for you. You cant fake or “distress” this kind of authenticity of surface. This look is only achieve through years of exposure.
