If you’re looking for an excellent reading light, consider this difficult-to-find counterbalance floor lamp from 1925-30! Using the cylinder-shaped weight in the cord, you can raise or lower the glass shade to the height that sheds the most light on your reading materials.
Need to light the way when the power goes out? Consider one of several kerosene lamps currently featured on Old Lamps & Things’ website. More coming soon, but if you don’t see a design that you like, please contact us for more options.
We bought this shade knowing that the filigree overlay was missing on one of the panels. We removed the glass panels, made a mold using one of the in-tact panels, filled the mold, let it set, and then shaped it to fit properly into the existing overlay. Then we soldered it in place, color matched to the surrounding metal, and put the glass back in place. So now we are ready to send this good as new table lamp off to live again.
This three-armed gas fixture was in rough shape when it came to us to be restored and electrified. We were able to straighten out all of the bent and twisted arms, and then we converted it to electric, adding fitter rings ready to accept a set of gas shades. Now it is a fully restored ceiling light fixture ready for a new home.
