    These stunning shades were made by John Walsh Walsh right around the turn of the century. Does anyone have any thoughts on whether the lamps could be original? The look a little art deco to me. Not even sure if they had electric lamps this early. They seem to be a perfect fit.

      To my eye the decoration is late Victorian, an Aesthetic Movement look.
      Edison's lamps go back to 1879.
      Certainly their competitors at James Powell & Sons were doing electric lamps with metalwork by W.A.S. Benson in the Arts and Crafts manner c.1898.
      You will probably need access to Glass of John Walsh Walsh 1850-1951 by Eric Reynolds.

      Thanks for the info! I examined the lamps and found marking on the bottom. It reads Lapco 2506. I did an internet search and found some similar lamp bases that say they date around 1915ish.

      Right Vetraio ! To my eye too Late Vistorian , have a Hole fixture ? Don't need chandel But Bulb with "bayonet" . W.A.S. Benson was best ( if you find a couple of Lamp ) Here a site whwre you can find Glass like yours .
      Take a look : http://www.mikeweedonantiques.com/newsite/stock/glass/english/walshwalsh/walshwalsh-01.htm
      I post a 1900 page of Lamp/Chandelier probably help you . Ciao
