A fantastic and rare vintage chalkware table lamp in the form of a classic American fire hydrant — painted in bold red and black with beautifully detailed molded chalkware construction. Standing approximately 20 inches to the base of the bulb, this is a substantial, eye-catching piece that makes an instant statement in any room.
The lamp is fully functional with its original brass harp fitting and works perfectly. No shade included — the hydrant form is striking enough to stand alone or pair with your own shade choice.
Located in Woodley Park neighborhood of WDC near the zoo. Easy driveway/curbside pickup on Connecticut Ave. CASH ONLY please and thank you.
This is exactly the kind of mid-century novelty lamp that collectors and interior designers actively seek out — playful, bold, and impossible to ignore. A perfect fit for a man cave, game room, firehouse-themed space, retro interior, or any collector of Americana and pop art decor.
