Hi there. This is a Bradley and Hubbard lamp I recently purchased. The base is marked B&H, but no markings on the shade. I have never seen this tree trunk style base by Bradley and Hubbard. It has a beautiful hammered appearance as you can see. I know many makers of that era made “tree trunk” bases, but I’ve never seen one from B&H before this one. What I love especially is the filigree of the shade is comprised of leaves and berries, and with the green glass, clearly the shade is meant to resemble the leaves and branches of a tree, which makes sense given the base. I’m curious if any of the members here have encountered this Lamp before. Thanks.
Beautiful lamp! Is that a Victrola in the shadows?! I hope you will post pictures of that and it's records!
Hi watchsearcher, it is not quite a victrola, but close. It is a Swiss gramophone made by Paillard. I took a few pics and made a new post of it for you. You can find it here. Thanks.

Did you ever find anymore on your lamp? I have one just like yours and it was a wedding gift to my great grandparents in 1905. I have read that Bradley & Hubbard may have partnered with Murano Glass to make the slag shade. My shade has no mark. I have seen very few of these in my search.
