Template By Froo! Rare Antique 4-Arm Victorian Aesthetic Rococo Silver ORMOLU TABLE LAMP Girandole Rare Antique 4-Arm Victorian Aesthetic Rococo Silver ORMOLU TABLE LAMP GirandoleThis incredible lamp measures 22.5" tall by 16" wide. It features intricate pierced filigree metal castings, 5 lights with reverse painted shades, and a beautiful antique silver patina (it appears to be silver plated). The shades are satin glass in white with embossed designs and reverse hand painted flowers. They're all the same size, shape, and design, but three have blue flowers and two have red flowers. The lamp was rewired at some point, and works perfectly. Each light has a pull-chain to turn on or off, and there is also an on/off turn switch on the cord. I've done a fair amount of searching, and I can't find another like it on the internet anywhere. It may have once been referred to as a newel post, banquet centerpiece, or table standard lamp. While I was unable to locate a maker's mark, there are marks on the lights themselves. The lamp sockets and covers are by Bryant, Pat'd Nov 26 1907. The shade holders are by Anker S Lyhne of Connecticut (home of Bradley & Hubbard, Miller, Handel, and others) and patented Aug 16, 1910.The lamp is antique, likely over a hundred years old, and therefore not quite perfect. It definitely has character, and wears it's age proudly. I gave it a gentle cleaning and light polishing, but there is still some tarnish/patina. Several of the leaves above the shades are sculpted soft metal replacements...they blend in well, but aren't silvered. One of them fell off during cleaning (I'll include it as it's probably repairable), and a few other leaves look like they may come off at any time (the original leaves are a very soft zinc type metal). Also, two of the shade holders are newer replacements (the last picture shows a new leaf next to an original leaf over a replacement shade holder). Because of this, two of the shades hang about 1" higher than the others. The shade holders can be easily replaced so that they all match, but I wanted to leave the lamp as original as I found it. Lastly, there is a chip on the fitter edge of one shade that doesn't show when the shade is in it's holder.In spite of any flaws, it's an incredibly unique lamp that still manages to display beautifully.Please see all pictures for additional details.About Us Payment Shipping Terms Returns Please read all the terms by using the buttons on the side.I offer unique vintage items at competitive prices.
