A Jewel of a Brass Table Lamp! #T32203A: Perfect. This wonderful lamp is 14.5" tall with a shade base diameter of 7.5". The ribs of the prismatic crystal shade match the ribs in the stem. Footed base. Polished solid brass. c.1930.


       

Pair of Cherub Table Lamps #T3603A: A sweet small pair of lamps. Each is 15.5" tall. The marble bases are each 3.25" square. All original. c.1920. Rewired. The ribbed crystal shades are marked Holophane which you may see in the last two photos.


     

Pair of c.1925 Brass Table Lamps with Ribbed and Scalloped Crystal Shades #T32903A: Each solid brass lamp is about 14.5" tall. Each beautiful crystal shade has a bottom diameter of 8.25". Rewired and OK at up to 150 watts.


   

Pair of Elegant Touchier Table Lamps #T8159A: These c.1930 nickel over brass table torchiere lamps stand 32.5" tall with a shade diameter of 12.5". The ribbed crystal and crosshatch design shade is a Holophane c.1920. The third photo shows the shade detail. Do not be fooled by the great colors. This is a clear brilliant crystal shade which has picked up the surrounding color in the room and is not permanent - gorgeous though. The second photo is a detail of the lamp base. The sphere has picked up blue reflection and is not part of the lamp. Rewired. Rheostat for light adjustment. This is an elegant pair of table lamps for indirect lighting. The light source within the reflecting bowl or crystal Holophane directs the light upward. Excellent condition.


     
   

Polished Brass Table Lamp with Rare Beaded Detail #T111202A: This 19.5" tall table lamp glistens like gold. In fact, it is so bright that it confused the camera. This solid brass lamp is gold not silver as the photos indicate. Note the delicate beaded detail not only on the stem but on the feet. The footed base has a diameter of 6". The ribbed and ruffled shade is a crystal Holophane which has a diameter of 9.5".
