Deco lamp very unusual glass shade

(1/9) > >>

Bought this lamp today, the body and base are wonderful solid marble with chrome fittings and it screams 1930's, but it's the shade that really does it for me. Circular glass with the lower 2/3 having a vaseling like opaqueness. the top has 4 deep ridges that go into the inside with the appearance of fork lightening and the top has a vaseline like amber area. The effect when lit is wonderful and never seen a shade like it so any ideas anyone, overall height is 22" and weighs a ton.

AMAZING, Paul!

I've never come across a lamp quite like it so we are now trying to find the right place in the house for it as I'd like to keep it. The trouble is I'm a sucker for lights and I've just got back the two I bought in France from being rewired so a bit of rethink called for tomorrow.

I'd take more time for that than one night only! I am sure that in the bottom of your heart you knew its place when buying it  :wink:

I've got an antique lacquered and hand painted octagonal Korean hat box that I bought when I worked out there in the late 1970's and I think it will probably end up on that in the lounge.
Also bought a deco double inkwell and a big buch of lovely 18th century iron keys.
