Whilst recently viewing a program on Foxtel called American Pickers some interesting information came to light about the Fan Dancer lamp.
The two pickers in the show were looking at a collection owned by Amber Digiovanni and in her collection was one of the Fan Dancer lamps in pink.
Amber Digiovanni mentioned and I quote "The lamp was made to commemorate the artistic flair of Sally Rand who was a 1920's Burlesque Fan Dancer
I find this information fascinating and worthy of a mention.
