BENROSE ITALY PORCELEAN TABLE LAMPS

[karima]

HI EVERYONE, I HAVE A PAIR OF BENROSE TABLE LAMPS THAT HAVE BEEN AROUND AS LONG AS I CAN REMEMBER AND EVEN BEFORE THAT. I ALWAYS ADMIRED THEM AS A CHILD SO, WHEN MY MOTHER PASSED AWAY 2 YEARS AGO, I CLAIMED THEM FOR MY OWN. I WAS RECENTLY REWIRING THEM AND FOUND THE "BENROSE ITALY 00552" UNDER THE BASE WRITTEN IN WHAT APPEARS TO BE GOLD. I NEED TO KNOW AS MUCH AS I CAN ABOUT THESE LAMPS SO AS I CAN HAVE THEM INSURED IF NECESSARY. IN ANY EVENT,THEY ARE NOT FOR SALE. THANK YOU TO ANYONE AND ALL WHO CAN HELP.

Welcome to the forum , karima .

From your post , it sounds like the upper end (value-wise) is that you've loved these lamps for a long time .
Sometimes the real value of an item from a familys' inheiritance is in our emotional attachment to it .
I hope you get to enjoy yours for a lifetime !

I'm no Benrose expert , so I don't have any info I can pull out of my hat for you .

We'll see if other members have got some Benrose-savvy .
