[QUOTE="Jake Muldaur, post: 9061070, member: 80488"]Hello everybody. First of all thanks for the nicest welcome I have ever had to any forum from Peter T Davis! I have inherited a lamp which, to be honest, looks rediculous in our utilitarian house. I am trying to identify who it is made by. No internet searches helped and the local antiques dealers in our town could not help. The lamp is brass and as heavy as you would expect. I've broken it down into its many parts / layers but the only markings I can find are the initials 'A D' on the underside of the base (stamped once in each corner). My grandma always said it used to belong to Maurice Chevalier so I wondered if it might be French. That may be a red-herring and I have no actual proof that Maurice Chevalier ever set eyes on the object. I have attached a few photos. I'm more than happy to take extra photos if they would be useful. Thanks for any help. Jake Muldaur, Herefordshire UK[/QUOTE]
