Topic: Blown glass lantern or light shade in metal wired frame - Art Nouveau???

[peejyweejy]

Afternoon...Can anyone tell me the age and or country of origin of this lamp shade? I was told that it was art nouveau but as I can't find anything similar it is hard for me to determine this. I have owned it for about 15 years, one of the pieces rescued from my garage  

It is quite large approximately 15" in height.

Not really any idea, but my thoughts would be nearer 1960s 1970s . we had something similar
in the porch in the late 60s.

Spain was a huge producer of wire cage blown items in the 1980s and 90s  - both for bar ware and ornamental lighting. I believe currently these items are made in India.

Thanks everyone for your comments. I don't know if this is relevant but this was given to me about 15 years ago from a friend who is a builder. He had removed it from a house in North London...it was in this condition when he gave it to me.

I must admit Ivo...I hav seen these in Spain, when I lived there!

Whitefriars also made some not sure if they were that ornate , both Whitefriars and Nazeing are only a short distance from north London .
