I have little information on this lamp, other than it belonged to my father before he passed away.
My best guess is that it may be German in origin and made of bronze. The details on the faces of the musicians are quite lovely. The shade is stained glass with a rosette metal trim that appears to be soldered. The center base of the lamp is somewhat similar to a musicians harp. One musician is playing the accordion the other a cello/base.
Any information about the lamp would be very welcome.
The one accordian boy definitely is a takeoff from the Hummel figurines. I like the lyre in the second photo. About 95 percent of these lamps are actually made of zinc and tin, or pot metal. Nice lamp.
PhilDMorris,
Thanks for the additional information. I haven't found anything similar to it online, so I guess its origins will remain a bit of a mystery.
I enjoyed checking out your posts. Thanks,
Deborah
