Featured Lamp Question Who made me?

Curious about this lamp on the bottom it has 985. B Now I am pretty sure the shade is Rembrandt. The shade is metal mesh. But What are your thoughts?

 

looks like a mix of Deco...& nouveaux

 

art nouveau with an arts&crafts shade for me. If not old, it's an old style with those horizontal light bulbs.

 

Nice lamp and super shade but not sure they go together. Hard saying who made either.

 

I'm pretty sure the shade is made by Rembrandt. It's the lamp that is bugging me because I know I should know I have seen it before. My mind just doesn't want to cooperate anymore. ugh

 

I agree they don't seem to match

 

Okay when looking at the lamp on bottom from a certain angle, an maybe it is just my eyes. What do you think ? Is that a signature ?

 

An here is a picture of the whole bottom.

 

Up close of shade

 

I looked closer at the shade and it is singed on the top round piece. It's hard to see in pictures but it says Rembrandt Lamps on it. Maybe I will never figure out the lamp. But it is cast and it is super heavy.

 

I really like your lamp, and think it possible that the shade is original. It’s an odd mix of the styles mentioned, such an intriguing combination of art nouveau, arts & crafts, & art deco - as a whole I can see it being made during the period from, say, very late 1800s to the early 1920s. Those styles were blended quite a lot during those years - I have seen it in clothing, jewelry, household furnishings, architecture - and while it may seem jarring to purists, I see it as a sort of celebration & love the discordant look as-is.
Most of the double bulb type lamps I’ve seen have been typically nouveau in style, circa early 1900s.

Have you done any research on Rembrandt ? Hopefully with the style/model number on the base & the signed shade something will turn up. Maybe a wise-guy Rembrandt employee stuck a new-fangled shade on a dead-stock base just to move the old style product!
Good luck & thank you for sharing, excited to see how this winds up

 

Agree that might be a marriage. The proportion of shade to lamp doesn't look quite right.
