Featured Let There Be More Lights!

We just returned from an antique lighting show and thought we'd share with our friends at antiques. The first is a bronze student lamp by Shreve Crump and Low ca. 1890s.


Next is a cranberry thumb print mini sitting among its larger siblings, including a Bradley & Hubbard banquet lamp.

Now we're getting into some really fun territory. The hanging lamp is a Rochester frame with the original smoke bell and spent match holder, all from the 1880s.

Last is the best of all. It's a Deco-era Aladdin white beehive with an original shade, chimney, burner, the works. Its a dream come true for Ms. Ghopper.

Hoping that you had a fun weekend too!!

 

ya got me on the Rochester !!!!!!

& yes...thanks for asking , I had a really fun weekend !!!

 

Not if I got to it first! Looks like Ghopper and Mrs Ghopper had themselves a good time.

 

Always enjoy posts from your lovely (drool worthy) home !

 

An Aladdin lamp! As in Rebecca of Storybrook Farm!

Verrrrry nice. Enjoy your new treasures.

 

Ironically, recently picked up that Aladdin shade in pink for a song at the thrift store.

 

AmazIng score!

 

Sat on the shelf for weeks at $14.99. Even went to half price and still no sale. Does have a chip on the base but that would be covered by the fitter ring. I didn't really need or want it but got it for $1.99. Could not say no at that price.

 

Rather than a purchase, I'd think of that more as a rescue operation.

Looks like you did well at the show, they are beautiful! I've never seen one with a 'spent match holder' before, that is very cool

 

Yes @cxgirl they are pretty tough to find! They typically depend from the bottom of the lamp frame They were definitely an “ad-on” sale, so there were probably not many to begin with. Add to that the fact that they’re typically small; it all adds up to a low “survival” rate.
That said, there was a vendor that had several that were modeled after piano babies which incited drool from yours truly. Very cool and not a little bit charming, but the prices? Wow!

 

Woahhh on all, but my favorite is THE ROCHESTER!!!

 

That Rochester would even work nicely in one of those modern "We forgot to add color" interiors.
