Quartite Creative Corp produced a range of homewares across the mid-century period in the United States. The company was based in West Virginia, and we believe operated from 1950-70.
Their signature lamp bases were often made out of plaster, commonly referred to as chalkware. These were often large pieces, making an exceptional statement in homes across the country.
THIS LISTING
A fabulous chalkware table lamp in a fabulous decor - a muted orange and turquoise design on a cream backdrop, finished with gold accents. Such a statement piece!
This beauty has been paired with a hand-made lamp shade made out of vintage fabric, courtesy of our friends at Retrotastik.
The lamp base is in great to excellent vintage condition with no chips, cracks or any other flaws to mention. There are some light scuffs in certain places, but minimal. Marked with a production date of 1960 on the reverse.
Please note the lamp shade may have some inconsistencies in the pattern and fabric itself being vintage, however it is free from damage.
It measures a fantastic 82.5cm (32.5") tall including the shade.
We have had this professionally rewired with a new cable to meet Australian electrical standards. Essentially, it's all ready to go!
