This is a tall cut glass lamp with a double light and it appears to be silver plated but is unsigned. I wish that I knew more about it and what shade or shades would be proper to fit it.
Now don't think that it was an accident that my new antique display armoire photo bombed the lamp by accident. That beauty was recently given to me as a gift from some of the kindest and most generous people that I have ever met.
You've got seriously stunning home decor going on there!
Beautiful:)
Thank you both IronLace and Trey.
As a result of the virus, oil companies in Houston are not doing so well. The owners of a small oil company that went out of business, gave us a gift. They blessed us with 3 gorgeous antique carved 19th century display armoires. One single size armoire is in the photo. They gave us a double and triple size armoire that are all converted. We have a large amount of high quality display space now.
Did you ever find out anything about your lamp? I have a similar one, however it is a one light and has brass with rose ornate decorations vs a silver base. I know it was my great aunts who was originally from Norway. She passed in the 1960's and the lamp was always in the home and I was born in the 1950's. I always recollect my Mom saying it had to be re-wired. I don't know if this is because the original wiring was European or it had gone bad. At some point my mother must have had it rewired as it was functioning in her home until her recent passing. I am positive mine is 24% lead crystal as the rainbow colors are brilliant in the light. I can't recall if the original lamp shade was round or oval, but I do recall it having hour glass type of pleats. Mine has no markings either and I am shying away from it being Waterford due to the design...but Waterford also did not have etched markings for a period of time. I am leaning towards it being turn of the century American Brilliance or something from Scandinavia. My Great Aunt was well off even after WWII; I know all of her treasures would be on the high-end of quality.
