Gloria Table Lamp (Australia, 1930s)

This is another Australian Gloria table lamp with a modified Gloria No.20 hollow wire burner. The burner cowl is unmarked.

The shade in the photos did not come with the lamp and is not a Gloria shade: but it does look good on this style of Gloria.

I have repainted the handle which originally was crackled green over gold.

The generator it is running on came with the lamp and is an Australian-made Gloria generator. The lamp is running on naphtha (Shellite).

Another very good Australian Gloria lamp!

Tony,

A beautiful example, and very well presented.
Thank you for sharing this fine lamp with us.

Nice work Tony, it looks good with the shade.

 

Well saved and it's a grand old lamp!

 

This is the Australian-made Gloria generator for this lamp. It has “-Genuine Gloria-” stamped on it.
