Antique Trivia?? Any Historic info about this beautiful marble lamp would be appreciated. I tried to look up the "ILM Co." and the Patented Number located on bottom of base) but not much luck yet.
Details: I rescued this lamp after it was sadly left in the rain for a short time. As you can see, there is some surface rust on the base, as well as counter-parts between the glass sections. It needs wiring refreshed. Although it still stuns with absolute beauty; it will surely benifit even more....by a little professional TLC.
Thank you. :)
