Unusual Bird Pendant with Original Hand Painted Iron #P11602A: This lamp is much nicer than the photos show. It has a total length of 26.5" with a shade diameter of 10".


       
 

Green Parrot Pendant with Brown Patina, Solid Brass Fixture #P11901B: There are many photos to show the detail of this fine old shade. The shade measures about 6.5" with a diameter of 8". The brass fixture is 4.5" long making the total lamp length about 11". The first photo was taken using flash with the lamp off. In the next two photos the lamp was on and I used flash. For photos 4 and 5 I took the shade off the fixture and placed it on white paper to get the detail of the green and coral parrot. The last two photos show the lamp on with no camera flash.


     

Parrot Pendant #P92803F: Beautiful rich color and texture to this vintage solid brass lamp. It is 14" in length with a shade diameter of about 7".


       

Bird and Wild Rose Pendant #P11203G: Nickle plated, solid brass, very detailed, fixture. Beautiful hand painted bird in a Wild Rose patch. Shade has open bottom for maximum lighting. The total length of this lamp is 32" with a shade diameter of 8".


   

Bird and Wild Rose Pendant #P111403A/P11203G: This is the exact same shade as lamp #P11203G which is directly above this listing. I was getting comments in my shop that a dark patina brass fixture would look better with this rare shade. The feeling being that the shade now becomes the main focus.


   

Hand Painted Bird Pendant #P2104D: The two sided bird design was hand painted over a line stencil therefore, the two birds vary slightly. This lamp with its solid brass fixture is 15" in length with a shade diameter of 8". Note: There is a small "fitter chip" in the shade top but this can not be seen as it is covered by the fixture.
