    7.5" W x 21.5" H x 7.5" D
    A hand-painted table lamp, converted from oil to electric. This elegantly handcrafted porcelain lamp contains brass tone Brenner Kosmos oil fixtures. The vibrant scene depicts an 18th century family in a rural setting. The electrical components utilize a rotary switch. Anyone have an idea of date. I have found no markings.

      You may have to take brass bottom off to see if mark is under it??

      This is the maker of the brass pieces, Vase like I said may have marks on bottom, take it apart and photograph. Its the only way to know or not??

      I'll see if it's possible to take off bottom and let you know . It looks to be soddered on. Not sure I should take it apart . I'll post a pic of bottom.
