Featured Harvard's Leading Light (Fixture)

Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate!

Finally got this beauty, and thought I'd share. It's a two-armed Harvard table lamp. 21 pounds of bronze, brass n' glass. Original everything from the 1880s!! A dream come true

Fits right in!

 

Just gorgeous.

 

What a nice addition to your collection of antiques. Looks like it found a good home. Thanks for sharing!

 

That looks like a Plume & Atwood - is that what the burners say? Pic of the mark? I have a similar Wild & Wessel dual burner, but I need to find a good welder to make a small repair before I put it back together. As far as I know these were all made in Germany - have you done any research on these?

Mine is marked and apparently marketed by Shreve, Crump & Low - which makes sense if you are from the Boston area (as I am) since that was the big high-end Jewelry store in Boston. Stop by to buy your kid a lamp on the way to drop them off at school. When I first researched these lamps I was surprised that some were marketed by Tiffany - surprised since New York is not close to Harvard U.

 

WOW, It's so fantastic it is.............

 

JUST PLAING GORGEOUS!!!!! But for me, that one image is the only one that posted!!

 

Stunning! Love it, Gh

 

Lovely, enjoy it.

 

Great find, G, and that is a perfect setting for it.

Truly amazing!

 

one of the prettiest student lamps i've ever seen (i started madly googling them after yr post),i remember them being very collectible way back in the 70's.

 

Fabulous! And the library/parlor table and chair are yummy, too!

 

yes,beautifully curated corner.

 

Just FYI, the library table is attributed to Herter Brothers and the chair is stamped Hunzinger 1869. The inkwell is ca. 1900 bronze from Ms. Ghopper’s family. The bookends are gilt Art Deco greyhounds sitting on marble blocks. So there ya go!
