About the Item

Pair of Continental Art Co. green fairy lamps. Vintage 1950s complete with fiberglass lamp shades. A spellbinding duet of mid‑century whimsy and Hollywood Regency glamour, this pair of Continental Art Co. “Green Fairy” chalkware lamps unfolds as a sculptural fairytale in vivid jade and emerald. Capturing the romantic charm of his-and-hers counterparts, each lamp features a finely sculpted fairy perched upon a curling botanical motif—one bearing a delicate magic wand topped with a twinkling star, the other poised in serene grace. The brilliant celadon glaze conjures a sense of verdant fantasy lit from within, while their original fiberglass shades complete the tableau, offering an enchanting contrast of texture and vintage allure. These are more than lighting—they are collectors’ treasures and design statements. “Kitsch” here becomes a term of the highest compliment: theatrical, color‑rich, and utterly indivisible from its mid‑century fantasy. Lamps: 35.25" High x 7” Wide x 25.75” Deep Shades: 15” diameter x 13” high
