I AM AN AVID COLLECTOR, AND HAVE BEEN FOR QUITE SOMETIME. A FEW YEARS AGO, SOMEWHERE IN THE TRI-STATE AREA, I ACQUIRED A MARBLE / ALABASTER LAMP WITHOUT IT'S HEAD. A FRIEND AND BUSINESS PARTNER OF MINE RESTORED THE PIECE, REPLACING THE HEAD.
THE SECOND LAMP, BELIEVED TO BE ART DECO, IS MADE OF ALABASTER, METAL AND GLASS. IT WAS ACQUIRED ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO IN BRONX, N. Y.
THE THIRD ITEM IS WHAT I BELIEVED TO BE AN EARLY SWEDISH CHAIR THAT WAS USED AN EARLY COLONIAL TIMES.
I AM NOT AN AUTHORITY OF ANTIQUES ITEMS. CAN ANYONE GIVE ME AN IDEAL OF WHO OR WHAT COMPANY WAS RESPONSIBILITY FOR SUCH ITEMS.
I love the Nipper!! : )
