<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 4493945, member: 37"]Interesting lamp. Style is aesthetic period, which makes me think this could be an oil lamp that has been converted. The style dates to c. 1890 but electric lighting was not common for a decade or so later. The overall form does seem better suited to an electric lamp so maybe was just made in the aesthetic style or maybe considered just Japonesque. Either way, I think this pretty early for an electric table lamp and it is a shame the original sockets are missing. I think this was pretty high-style and expensive when new. No idea who made this.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
