Hoping to learn something about this 9-sided hanging lamp my parents owned. It has a bird motif in the ironwork, and another ornate area at the top. You can see "PH" on the bird's breast in the third photo.

Poul Henningsen is maker Danish designer 1894-1967 https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/vtg-large-art-deco-ph-poul-henningsen-1787734976
Beautiful !
You can google his name and read about him :-)
not sure where or how that listing came up with the Poul Hennington connection to this lamp. This looks more like a craftsman/mission design, whereas he is known for his modernism design.
Thanks, Manikin. The lamp in your link is clearly the same one as mine!
I agree with TallCakes that Henningsen's style is way more modern than this, even though I've seen it on a few auction sites attributed to Henningsen! https://rooftopantiques.com/products/p-h-marked-lrge-9-panel-slag-glass-vintage-ceiling-light-fixture-poul-henningsen
Found another, but no help on identification:

and another.
Go with what Tallcakes said . I guess the internet has used his name on many slag glass lamps so I am confused but tallcakes knows glass :-)
not saying necessarily it isn't the same PH but a few online auctions seems a bit insufficient when his historically confirmed designs are ALL modernism. Without some sort of specific attribution I can't make the connection...
I agree Tallcakes there are some slag lamps attributed to him and I also see the modern designs he did so I am lost on this one :-)
I appreciate you both!
I suppose it's way to late to get in on this conversation, but I was searching for info on a shade I have exactly like this one posted. Each swallow on this shade has the initials P H stamped on them. I am trying to find out if this has any value. If any body can shed some light on this issue I would appreciate it
been a while since one has rolled around. Taking another look in a different manner I'm finding Paul Harmon Lamp MFG - OLNEY. ILL. comes up with marked parts on an "End Of Trail" slag glass lamp.

interesting comparison if one searches Poul Henningsen lamp on WP. TO ME it looks like many have misattributed the slag glass lamps:

The reproductions were made by Paul Harmon Mfg of Olney, Illinois between 1950 to 1980 to imitate 1915 to 1920's glass. Look on the inside of the shade and you might find this mark. (not all were marked).
