[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 9553603, member: 84"]I found these big, beautiful original Rougier tulip table lamps at my local thrift store today & ended up buying them for $500. The reason I goy them fairly inexpensive (though it didn't feel like it when I was paying!) was because 1 leaf has been broken at the base. It looks like it'd been repaired a while ago & either the heat or the age caused the repair to give out. Can I repair them with crazy glue or plastic cement? Is there somewhere I can take them to be repaired? I think I'm lucky because the break is straight across and it fits back into place fairly straight. Or should I leave as is & let buyer repair? Also, they could be turned a quarter & it couldn't' be seen (like in first 3 photos)? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
