I have a lamp that I purchased from an antique shop. It looks like an oil lamp that has been converted into an electric lamp. It is a Victorian banquet lamp (I think). It has two round glass globes starting white at the bases to darker pink in the ruffles at the tops. The round part of the globes have etched designs. All of the oil lamp adjusting knobs are still in tact. The twin globes are held like torches in hands held by connectors meeting in a central column. This column has a jade-like green section connected to the base that is decorative setting on three lion-like paws. At the top of the central base there is a trophy -like figure. I don't know what I have. I am down-sizing and have no place to put this beauty. And... don't know what to do with it or how much to sell it for.
I bought the exact same piece at a auction outside of Seattle Washington about 3 years ago for $150. I also can't find any info on it. Mine is missing the round plug on the forehead.
