Marble Lamp

Lamps & Chandeliers

Medium

Marble

Marks or Signature

none

Date Made

1950

Price Paid (If known)

unknown

Size and Dimension

18" X 4 3/4" X 4 3/4"

Weight

9.75 lb.s

Condition

Good

History

This lamp was my mothers. She used it throughout the 70s and 80s. She did not tell me where she got it from, whether she inherited it or bought it but she did love to purchase whatever were the hottest items in the department stores when she was young.

Description

The lamp is grey and white marble and carved beautifully with a shape that is not too simple but not overly ornate. It does have a couple small brown spots which I assume is water damage and/or scratches but they are minimal. The base of the lamp is square and the body is made up of 6 pieces of marble carved into different shapes and attached after the fact. The hardware that holds the bulb may not be original and it is also been shaken loose, though it stays upright and holds a bulb in it. It is just not particularly sturdy. The hardware's connection to the lamp itself is intact, just the tube that holds the threading for the bulb to screw into is loose from it's base. The cord is a brown one. It is original to the piece and has a 2-pronged plug. Black felt covers the bottom of the base, perhaps covering the hallmark. The cord has some paint marks on it but is not worn through in any areas.

I cannot find out much about this item. I have brushed some of hte dirt off of it and it is really a pretty piece. It does not have the main wiring in it, only the sockets which need to be replaced due to their age. There is a small metal tag that says made in Spain on it.

Description

Beautiful Spanish Silver Chandelier....... not sure how old it is, but the workmanship is very nice.  There are no wires in this piece except in the sockets.  They are old and need to be replaced.  I have partially brushed off the greenish dirt that you can still see on it.  I would love to find out anything about this chandelier.

Thanks!

History

was in an antique shop that closed down 20 + years ago and just reopened under new ownership. The store sold with all stock inside. Friends told us the lamp was there at least 30 years.

Description

Hi, Can anyone tell me about this lamp?  It has oak leaves on the base (I think) It has 193 carved into the base and WUYH??  I think it has mother of pearl for acorns on the base.  It's a pretty lamp. No cracks in base or glass.  Does anyone know about how much it would be worth? I didn't pay a lot for it as the guy who bought the store opened it up and is just selling everything to make room for a new business.  He isn't into antiques he just wants the location.  thanks

Condition

History

Hanging on each side of our master bedroom fireplace in home we just purchased.

Description

We just purchase a home that was custom built in the early 1970's to resemble a swiss chalet. These 2 sconces are on both sides of our master bedroom fireplace on the third floor. We need more light and my husband would also like to replace them with a flat screen tv. I like them but do not know if they are worth keeping. They could be crystal as they do have a rainbow of colors in the light from the french doors in the bedroom. They are very dusty as the home has been vacant for over a year. I thought that they would match the bedroom better if I painted them black, but do not want to ruin them if they are valuable.

26 inches hanging from ceiling, 18 inches top to bottom of chandlier, it globe shaped with a diameter of 14 inches. 6 lights and countless glass or crystals hanging from it.,

Weight

not known as it is hanging

Condition

Good

History

I just bought a home and it is hanging in the bathroom. The home was custom built in the early 70's to resemble a swiss chalet. I do not know if it was original or if it was installed later. The home has been vacant for over a year and the light is very dusty.

Description

We know almost nothing about this chandlier, it is handing in the master bathroom of a home we just purchased. The home itself is very interesting as it was custom built to look like a Swiss Chalet and it's in the Galveston Bay area of Texas. We are planning to completely remodel and update the master bathroom. We do not know if the chandlier has any value but think it is quite nice. The home has been vacant for over a year and the chandlier is very dusty. We do not know what it is made of to clean it properly. It appears that the drop pieces are crystal as a rainbow of color is noticed when light shines in over the chandlier from a skylight. I have attached several pictures and have more if needed. The center shaft is gold/brass in color and the body where it is more intricate is a silver light color.
