Brass Lamp - Any clues for the marks?
« on: March 18, 2012, 04:48:17 pm »
My parents recently bought a lovely old lamp made of brass on the weekend. They were wondering if anyone had any idea what the maker's mark indicated?

For context the lamp was bought in Mintaro, in country South Australia. Most of it is made by twisting a square bronze pole that has lovely little designs on the edges. It can hold three lamps at the top, like a tree.

Any suggestions are welcome!

Many thanks.

Amanda

That appears to be a British Registration Mark. Check out this link

Thank you!

And sorry about the pictures - I had to screen grab them from Skype.

Will hopefully get a clearer picture soon!
