On offer is a rare and striking vintage Chinese abacus table lamp, believed to date from the mid-20th century (1950s–1960s). This unique and highly decorative piece combines functional lighting with antique mathematical heritage — offering a bold statement for both collectors and design lovers.

The lamp features an authentic Chinese wooden abacus as its base, with beautifully aged beads and red lacquer accents, giving the piece a distinctive Far Eastern flair. The abacus is constructed in a square vertical format, supported by a solid frame, and mounted securely to a brass light fitting. The lamp is crowned with its original mid-century cream fabric lampshade, which is integral to the frame and still in stable condition — with no damage, though it could benefit from a gentle clean.

Standing at approximately 28 inches tall, this large and substantial lamp will instantly command attention. Whether placed in a vintage-inspired interior, an eclectic modern space, or a room filled with curiosities, it will serve as a one-of-a-kind conversation piece and stylish focal point.
