Fightin’ Femmes: Unmasking Female Superheroes with Author Mike Madrid

She has a pewter finish, I don't know if that is original or not, and she is an angel, her wings hold the light fixture. She almost looks like a crucifix.
Anyone know where I can get a lamp lens for her?

Very nice. Good luck with the lens. You might have to get one made.I would guess it would be like a fan or seashell shape, possibly a diamond shape with scallops.
Yeah, I figure the lens is probably going to cost more than the lamp.
A stained glass artist is probably a good bet, and can produce the fan shape this piece must have had.
That is an idea.
The shades for this lamp come in many designs, like this one:

Just google fan lady lamp and you will get a few.
I have a pair, mine are modern tiffany peacock pattern.
This is probably a nice reproduction. Two things stand out. One , the pewter finish and two the chandolier size socket and wiring. I have a old original of this lamp and it is done in cast iron and has regular size period socket. The original shade was a flat piece of glass cut into a fan shape, with rays etched, or sandblasted in the back. Dale Tiffany makes a similar lady lamp. Hope this helps. Love all your deco postings.
Thanks for all the suggestions, I will look into getting her lens replaced.
