Bought a table from a 30s cabaret theatre

[Lucky Strike]

Art deco side table, with electric light fitted under the glass top. The (later) fabric under the glass will be leaving, together with the rotted cord. The light will make an excellent bedside table - nice, soft lighting. It's from a 30s cabaret theatre ("Chat Noir") here in Oslo:

Lovely! Can't wait to see it with the restoration work.

Well, here's an update; it's in the restorer's shop. It's quite well made, but needs work on the surface and edge of the top, where the varnish has "boiled". The base is metal, and marbled - I'll just clean and keep that.

The glass top will get a matt plastic film on the underside, and I'm considering using some tin foil on the bottom panels (seen lying on the floor) to get some more light out of it.
