This is a vintage light featuring a Basset Hound, believed to have been made between the 1970s and early 1980s. The Basset is made of hard resin, with a rich expression as if waiting for its owner to return home. The shade is made of opal glass (milky white glass) that diffuses a warm light softly, creating a wonderful atmosphere. The edge of the glass has a "rolled rim" finish, which is a thick and durable treatment that makes the glass less prone to breakage. Products from this era, unlike today's efficiency-driven products, are well-made and possess a warmth and tactile quality. The condition is good for a vintage item, with minor scratches but no critically severe damage or stains as shown in the images. The glass is also in good condition with no cracks, chips, or nicks. While not new, a light bulb is included as a service. <Size (please allow for slight errors)> Maximum height (from floor to top of shade support): approx. 38cm Base dimensions: approx. 10cm x 10cm This would be perfect for those who own Basset Hounds or other hounds, as well as any dog lover. As a side note, although Basset Hounds originated in France, their popularity spread and they became widely kept in the UK, which is why this light has a somewhat British feel. It is also recommended for those who like Britain, British-style interiors, or for the counter of a British bar. As you can see from the images, it does not give a cheap impression at all and should not detract from the atmosphere of your space. Please note that images from the 15th onwards are for separate items, but we also have other vintage miscellaneous goods and folk crafts from various countries. Discounts are available for combined purchases.
