    Always admired this at my grandmothers, she left it to me. Have tried to find out anything/everything about this unique lamp. It glows amber, seems to be brass at bottom with angels. Would love to know who it is made by or if there are markings from where/who is came from. Very sentimental to me.
    She was born 1913.

      It is a relatively newer lamp, most likely from the late 90's when they were doing a lot of these at that time with the same materials used Most of these were also made of a poured resin material for the lamp, but hard to tell from picture.

      this lamp is astonishing. I would look forward to learning more as well!

      @ PhilDMorris, although I appreciate your comment, this has been in her house since the 70's that I remember but earlier than that from my mother. Unless you're talking about the 1890's. ????

      Also, the amber lights are flowers and the petals/leafs are metal

      Have you tried looking for a similar one on eBay?
      Search antique lamps for a start.
      Good luck, I look forward to an update on what you find.

      Also I don't really know one from the other in period styles, but also try searching eBay with....Antique art nouveau lamp.....just an example.

      Still no answers. I guess it will stay a mystery.
