Lot 595: A Vintage Mixed Media Novelty Dutch Windmill Table Lamp
A vintage novelty table lamp in the form of a Dutch-style windmill, constructed from a variety of materials. The sail assembly features four blades made of white plastic lattice with wooden supports, mounted to a small plywood housing. This upper section sits atop a tapering hexagonal tower made of translucent green plastic, which is decorated with a printed graphic depicting a traditional Dutch waterside scene including windmills and sailing vessels. The tower is set into a tiered octagonal wooden base, which is fitted with a decorative miniature metal chain railing supported by small turned wooden posts. Four decorative oversized matchsticks with red tips are mounted to the rear of the upper wooden housing. The internal electrical components are visible through the translucent body, and the lamp is fitted with a white mains power cable. No maker’s marks or labels are visible on the exterior components of the piece.
