Bidspirit auction | Cast Iron Lighthouse Lamp Base

Cast Iron Lighthouse Lamp Base - Height: 15 inches. This hollow-cast iron architectural object is formed as a tapered hexagonal lighthouse tower. The structure features a flared upper gallery supporting a separate lantern room casting topped with a decorative finial. Architectural details are cast into the sides, including a faux arched entry door at the base and multiple sets of recessed four-pane windows staggered at various levels around the perimeter. The exterior surface is finished in a metallic gold or bronze-toned wash. The interior of the base is open and displays the unfinished cast iron surface. There is a circular aperture at the top of the main column designed to receive electrical hardware, and a small semicircular notch at the lower edge of the base provided for a power cord. No maker's marks, signatures, or patent numbers are visible on the exterior or interior surfaces.
