This funky lamp has three large mushroom coral pieces as a backdrop, painted with wild neon colors and glitter!😍 Wow! Add in the sweetest little plastic seahorses and a handful of assorted shells set into the plaster base - and you have something special.
These TV lamps were popular in the 1950s and often sat atop a console TV. Some people used them as nightlights. These kitschy lamps were often sold as souvenirs in Florida back in the day. (Did your grandparents have one?)

Listing Includes
- ONE mid century seashell & seahorse TV lamp on plaster base (as shown)
Item Condition
Very good condition with minimal wear noted. Assorted sea shells, coral and two plastic seahorses are secured tightly into the marbled plaster base. The small lightbulb is in working condition (image 3) and be rearranged as needed.
Plaster base has felt pads to prevent scratching surface of TV. Very substantial and heavy. The current lightbulb/cord works, but has been repaired with electrical tape. Suggest replacing with a newer electrical cord/bulb if you plan to use the light frequently.
As expected, the surface show dust and residue, but can be easily cleaned with a dry paint brush.
