Beautiful pair of vintage crystal buffet/mantle whatever you desire lamps. They are quite large and with the shades measure 20.5" tall. The hurricanes are in excellent chip free condition and are 10.5" total but you lose about 1 inch in the holder on the lamp. The etched pattern on the hurricanes matches the design on the boboche nicely. (one boboche has a little grain of sand in the glass from manufacture) The lamps are 11.5" to the base of sockets. Each lamp has 8 crystals and prisms attached and are original to the lamp - original wires holding crystals on and do not appear to have not been replaced and they measure 5". The lamps are chip free and most of the prisms are in excellent shape and not repaired. They do have some little flea bite marks on them consistent with age. Each lamp is quite heavy, over 3 lbs each not including hurricane. I have shown with camera flash and without and also shown with a clear bulb and a vintage flicker bulb. They do use standard base bulbs, not candelabra bulbs. For shipping purposes I must remove the crystals and wrap them separately and to protect the delicate hurricanes those must go in a separate box if I don't feel I can pack them together safely (although I will try!) They are original as far as I can tell, have not been rewired but the wiring appears fine although you may want to have read more
