Detailed Description & Condition Report

Elevate your space with this breathtaking, authentic 1972 Gone with the Wind style electric hurricane parlor lamp by the renowned EF & EF Industries, Inc. (Model No. 537x TM). Standing an impressive 22 inches tall, this stunning statement piece features a dual-globe design crafted from high-quality milk glass. The crisp white background is beautifully offset by intricately embossed foliage patterns and vibrantly detailed, hand-painted yellow and pink roses that appear to glow softly when illuminated.

This piece is in excellent, near-pristine vintage condition. Every aspect is entirely original, including the beautifully aged metal footed base and the internal clear glass chimney. The glass has no chips, cracks, flea bites, or repairs, and the hand-painted details remain crisp and unfaded. The 3-way interior turn-key lighting works flawlessly, letting you light just the top globe, just the bottom nightlight font, or both at once to create the perfect cozy ambiance.
