Shades can be purchased on Rakuten, Amazon, etc. ◆ Color Silver Vintage lamp made of étain (tin) ◆ Size ・ Height 14cm ・ Base diameter 9cm ・ Bulb E26 ◆ Condition This is a vintage lamp made of étain (tin) from France in the early 19th-20th century. It was purchased in France, and although a considerable amount of time has passed since its production, it is in working order. With its simple and beautiful design, it creates a wonderful atmosphere in a room. I especially liked the bird design on the base, which is very cute. Although it is made in France, the plug has been converted to a Japanese one, so it can be used without any problems in Japan, and the light can be turned on and off with the inline switch. The socket part is only attached to the main body, so it may come off if moved strongly, but there is no problem if used normally. ◆ History of Étain (Tin) In Europe, étain was prized for tableware and candlesticks from the Middle Ages, but its use declined with the advent of inexpensive mass-produced items such as tinplate. Étain is a soft material that is easily scratched, but this property causes it to gradually lose its shine and change to this matte, unique, and aged texture. Knowing the history makes it even more appealing. ※ As it is an antique item, there are minor scratches and stains. Therefore, please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to such details or if you are looking for a perfect item. Please check the condition from the photos. ※ The shade is for reference only and is not included. ※ We are lowering the price by a few hundred yen each week, but please note that we will return to the original price once it reaches a certain amount.
