Antique Questions Forum / Re: 1930's Lamp - Not sure of creator or value

« on: August 07, 2011, 10:25:03 am »

Don't get me wrong, personally, I like it, sure, it is ugly, I don't deny that. But I do feel like it has some history to it (As with anything dating back to that age does) but, It's the fact that not many people know much about it, or anyhthing along those lines is what bugs me the most. I would like to know as much as possible about this lamp as I think it is rather odd and unique. Granted, might not fetch a lot of money, but that isn't a problem for me, I didn't purchase it to make money, I purchased it as I like it.

Anyway, as before, if anybody knows anything about it, or happens to stumble accross some knowledge, plase fill me in!

Thanks.

I found  this on eBay,

it looks similar, but the shades are different in colour

Could be by the same designer, but I'm not sure.

also the wire is just wrapped around the lamp to keep it tidy, it's made of wrought iron base, and leaded glass nugget shade but thats all i know and it's 1930's.

Hi there guys,

I recently came to own this lamp, I have done a little research on it and found on another site for sale at $1,200USD; apparently it is dated at 1930s' era. The lamp I have is all original parts, has NOT been cleaned as I know cleaning can damage the value if the item is damaged via scratching etc.

I have a few pictures to share with you all, but I would like to know a little more about this piece as I have been refered to contact other communities too and to no avail from auction houses either. One actioneer even said that he would not sell this peice as he has no clue about it, he knows it's old but has told me that he couldn't value it as he doesn't know much about it though I do keep getting contact from an overseas American buyer who is interested in the lamp. Although, I do not wish to sell it just too soon without knowing the history behind it.

If you guys are able to fill me in on a little more information about this peice I would appreciate it very much as I have no clue about it,

Thanks again.

Anyway, here are the pictures -




Enjoy.
