Lucite Dolphin Lamp: Vintage 1970s Reverse Carved Acrylic Wave on Wood Base (0104-24)

Perfect for coastal decor enthusiasts seeking authentic 1970s kitsch. This sculptural night light is an ideal gift for ocean lovers who appreciate the retro-cool aesthetic of the late Mid-Century Modern era.

This lamp features genuine reverse-carved Lucite. The dolphins and waves are etched into the back of the acrylic, creating a stunning 3D "floating" effect. The solid wood base provides a warm contrast to the glowing translucent green acrylic.

IMPORTANT NOTE: At Darling Della Vintage, we believe every scratch and bit of patina tells a story. Our pieces are 30+ years old and have lived full lives, so gentle wear, tiny chips, or age-worn charm are part of their soul — not flaws. We photograph and describe each item carefully, but please expect natural signs of age. Embracing vintage means embracing history — and we wouldn’t have it any other way.
