    This lamp has been in my family since the 1800s. Does anyone have a guess as to who might have made it?
    Thanks,
    Marty

      I know this was a while ago but for some time my wife and I have been trying to find more info about this lamp as well - we have the exact same lamp. If I can find a way to post a picture in a reply I will do so, or I'll start a new post and put the link here.

      Ours came from my wife's father, who had it in his parent's home in Rochester NY home where he grew up in the early '30s; so late 1800s - early 1900s sounds about right. My wife's sister remembers him mention it was originally gas and converted to electric some time later. I've had to replace the power cord and what always struck me was the socket did not match the era of electric lamps of the day in relation to the glasswork, so the gas explanation seems to fit.

      From what I've been able to find, many of these style lamps were made back then; particularly with the advent of Tiffany. There is no makers mark we can find, so we have been very diligent in trying to find a match to learn more of its history.

      We had all but given up looking but recently we moved the lamp to a new location; curiosity got the best of us and we decided to search again and found your picture. Thank you for posting!
