This lamp is 19.5"H including the finial. there are 4 panels of glass, one of which looks to be a replacement because there is no variation in the color--it has a texture of small bumps but is nearly a perfect match to the color of the other three slag glass panels, without the striations. The panels measure 7"H x 6-5/8"W at the bottom. The base seems to resemble a lily pad. The scene is identical on the 4 panels and depicts a Dutchman (from the type of hat) driving a goose with a stick toward the barn sighted further away, behind which is a Windmill.
I just acquired the lamp at an estate sale in Michigan and am wondering who the maker might be, and the value of the piece. The last two pictures may give someone with knowledge of the Art Nouveau period some idea of who/where the lamp was made. The 3rd picture shows "-L2"; the 4th picture seems to be letters that do not mean anything to me.
Hi
I have seen these as reproductions of antique lamps , Hard to tell by photo but I suspect a newer repro by the design on it . The holland scene is to black and shows no wear . I could be wrong but would need to see in person. I have had several slag glass lamps I inherited and the glass and the many things help to see in person .Very pretty lamp however . Hope someone can tell by photo for you :-)
Thanks so much Manikin! I wish someone knew something about the marks on the bottom--that would probably reveal whether it is a repro or is actual vintage...I'll keep hoping someone will know. Thanks again!
