Found in Attic...
24 inches tall without the shade.. 30 inches with shade on
shade is 18 inches at widest point 9 above the collar, 10 glass panels design, and Heavy as can be easily 20+ pounds.
from a little research, I believe its slag glass or mica
But the colors that come through with light are stunning.
Base is made of Brass with 2 pull chain light sockets, and the cherubs scene around the pole appears to be some kind of ceramic
I found 2 marks, but not found ID for them. a "Shield with a C inside" and a "Circle with a C inside". I will look for more marks at bottom of base if the bottom is removable
Looks old but have no clue, guessing the original cord was replace.
Any ID info would be appreciated
I have almost the same shade - but for a hanging lamp. Mine is brass and a bit lighter. It came witih a house I purchased more than 25 years ago. It was old then:)
I have been talking to Joe Ley Antiques in Louisville Ky. It is his opinion that the base and the shade are mixed/ married together. The cherubs are casted in heavy plaster then painted and lacquered most likely done in Late 1930's to Early 1940's. As for the Glass Shade it appears to be late 1910's to mid 1920's. The Carmel slag shade is a 20 piece design ( 10 Upper and 10 Lower).. Still no answer on the Shield Q identification mark.
