I found this gorgeous lamp, Chandelier or Parlor lamp in pieces but in mint condition. I'm trying to put it back together hence the strange photography! I don't know what era it's from nor the correct name and could really use some help! I think it might be from the 1800s??
you're probably correct on the Victorian era for the time frame. Looks like a cranberry bullseye hanging oil lamp; possibly Bradley & Hubbard. nice find : )
nicolle777, very nice find! Welcome to CollectorsWeekly.

Thank you all so much! I think I will research farther with everybody's help and may take it to an antique store today to try and get it valued, I will certainly share what I find out. Thank you all again!
I will for sure!
It motivated me to work on cleaning it up and getting it displayed in my home better so I can sell it easier! And THANK YOU for all of that incredibly helpful information weirdpuckett! So I also found out it's worth is between $800.00-$2000.00! Also found out the biggest hurdle will be finding the right buyer, I am being told that the market for these is a bit zany and may have to consider even taking it to a bed and breakfast, although it is originially meant for a library or office. Also going to check into local antique stores. Really just want to keep it, its so fun and pretty but I cant at this time. Ill let you all know what happens, in the meantime I have more collectable things to solve the mystery on. This site is super helpful, thank you!
I absolutely will and thanks again for your help!:)!
happened to run across this very close match made by the Edward Miller Brass & Lamp Co. The Bullseye glass pattern is a match as are the details of the prisms, 'chains' and the trim around the top & bottom of the glass shade. (notice that the trim in your image has the top trim upside-down). The glass color is different but with all the identical details I think this is likely by Edward Miller.
