It does not hurt the lamp value to rewire it !!  Unless its a Tiffany, Handel ect !!  Then let a pro do it !!




Any idea on value?  Date? Thanks

Can you remove the shade and take a pic of the top also look on the lamp socket and see if there is a mfrs name !! Sometimes you will find a patent date or number too !! Is anything on the bottom of it !! Looks like a mid century floor lamp that just happens to look Mission style !! Most all the Mission pieces would be done in oak !!  Can`t tell if this is oak or not !!  The finish is darker than would be typical for the style !!  Could be just the pics that look darker !!

Thanks, no numbers on the socket.  I do believe it is quarter sawn oak. The finish appears darker in the photos than it is.  I appreciate your help!

I am new and am hoping to get some help with a lamp I found at an estate sale near downtown Chicago earlier this year. 

The lamp is a hexagon shape and solid wood.  The light fixture is brass with two pull chain sockets.  It has brass spacers and a brass finial.  One socket works one does not.  I am able to rewire it but not sure if I should. 

Thanks in advance for your help!
