<p>[QUOTE=&quot;verybrad, post: 210524, member: 37&quot;]Would call your first an articulated shelf or piano lamp.&nbsp; You would have seen these with a variety of shade configurations as mentioned above.&nbsp; Since yours has a harp, it would have had something pretty traditional on it.&nbsp; Probably more in fitting with colonial decor.&nbsp; A dark paper shade with a gold lining for example.&nbsp; Here is one with a tole painted metal shade.&nbsp; </p><p><img src="https://img0.etsystatic.com/116/1/11361226/il_340x270.1003860270_98iz.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>It would have been meant to be used with the harp in a vertical position only.&nbsp; If it didn&#039;t have the harp, they generally looked more along the lines of this. </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://image.lampsplus.com/is/image/01016.fpx?qlt=65&amp;wid=236&amp;hei=236&amp;op_sharpen=1&amp;resMode=sharp2&amp;fmt=jpeg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Your second one is a bit more difficult.&nbsp; I think something cylindrical or conical, possibly with some kind of graphic patterning.&nbsp; Would be nearly impossible to find an old one.&nbsp; Here is a more modern pair with a wide cylinder shade that looks good.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/f4/2b/bc/f42bbc837af7fbad59b443cd2d35af32.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>If keeping these for yourself, you should do what pleases you.&nbsp; Most lamps have lost their original shades along the way so there is no shame in not having something original.&nbsp; Besides, our sensibilities are a bit different than they were back then.&nbsp; You might not even like what the original shade looked like.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
