Art Deco ship lamp of a brass galleon made by ELPEC Lloyd Pascal & Co, 1920`s ca, English.
This lamp has been gently cleaned while respecting the antique patina. It is newly rewired, earthed, PAT tested by an electrician and ready to use. It has the following new components: brass lamp holder & cover, golden silk cable, and black plug. This lamp could be used with a dimmer. It is possible to use this lamp in other countries with a light bulb suitable to local electricity.
On the reverse of the brass casting of the galleon is stamped `REG N. APPD FOR`, the maker`s registration mark showing an application was made for the registration of this model. The maker most likely was ELPEC Lloyd Pascal & Co. from Birmingham England, as the quality of the casting & details are similar to other brassware from the same company.
In this case the design is in keeping with the Art Deco style of the period and has many distinctive features such as the use of heavy geometric influences, stepped forms, exaggerated curves, the ship theme and the movement, all combined together in this example with an historic subject: the galleon.
This lamp has medium size proportions well suited for a side table, desk, sideboard, or bedside. With the warm tones, texture & presence, it would suit a range of interiors such as Antique, Art Deco, Traditional, Hollywood Regency, Industrial or Contemporary.
The design consists of a solid polished brass octagonal stepped base. On the front there is a quality brass casting of a galleon with great attention to detail creating depth & textures. Behind the casting of the ship there is a black push button switch and a vertical brass rod with the electrical cable running inside. The `ship` is secured to the base by two decorative screws and to the rod by a ring at the top. The back is stamped: `REG N. APPD FOR`. At the top there is a new lamp holder & cover, both of brass. Two removable brass rings secure the lamp shade to the lamp holder.
This lamp is finished with a quality vintage lampshade. It has an octagon bell form smartly matching the octagonal brass base. The shade is covered with silk antique gold fabric & golden trim following the round edge. Inside the shade is lined with ivory fabric. This lamp shade is vintage but probably not as old as the lamp base.
Underneath the base is padded with new black felt to protect the furniture below.
This lamp carries 1 standard small screw light bulb (E14) up to 60 Watts. At present it is fitted & photographed with a Golf Clear shaped light bulbs of 28 Watts. This is included in the price. It is possible to use any other E14 bulb shapes.
This antique lamp is in very good condition for its age. The brass frame is stable & sound. It has a warm patina developed over the years which adds character. There are minor superficial marks in line with age & wear. The vintage lampshade is in good condition with no cuts or major stains on the fabric, just some uniform superficial dirt on the lining as expected with its age.

ELPEC BRASS LLOYD PASCAL CO HISTORY
Lloyd Pascal & Co, the original company name for ELPEC Brass, was established in Birmingham in 1919. Initial production was fitting for windows, carriages and cabinets as brassfounders, and then specialised in reproduction copper and brassware initially based on Belgian designs. The later trade name was formed from the initials of the two founders and was used mainly on items where the design had been protected by registration as in this case. The company also produced silver plate which was marked `Centurion Silverplate`. The `ELPEC` name lapsed in 1972 however the company is still in operation today in Birmingham as `Lloyd Pascal` producing home accessories.
