<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lucille.b, post: 223822, member: 51&quot;]Good advice.&nbsp; If you do decide you want it, take it down before showing the house.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is what I see with the lamp from the photos provided and why I don&#039;t think this is antique.&nbsp; The metal looks inexpensive, stamped and thin.&nbsp; Each panel is identical to a fault.&nbsp; Also the soldering is kind of sloppy.&nbsp; I hope I&#039;m wrong, but what is being circled as a possible signature looks like it might be a blob of poor workmanship with solder.&nbsp; Additionally, if the hardware above the lamp is original to the piece, the chain, etc and the ceiling cap look 1970s-80s.</p><p><br /></p><p>Never seen a lamp with similar panels before, which maybe gives points for unusual.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ask your realtor what he/she thinks.&nbsp; Honestly a more modern simple lamp might be more appealing to a prospective buyer, and that could be another argument for taking it down.&nbsp; You could always bring it to your new house and then decide, but that is some work and expense, too.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
