(A) The Austrian aesthetic is clearly
present here... and the original shade equally expressive of
its Secessionist roots... nice interplay of copper and brass...
12 1/2 inches tall. (e-mail

(B) This lamp is hovering around
the top of my Personal Favorites List. A deep, rich patina, wonderful
iron work on an unusually-shaped base, and those NUTS...
not to mention the Schneider shade with its purples, blues, and
mottled whites and grays (not so well represented in this photo,
sorry)... It measures 13 high, about 10 wide. (e-mail

(C) Again, to my consternation
(nice word, huh?), the shade on this beauty doesn't quite come
across in the photo. It's a very rare and extraordinary
Muller shade, with angles and edges that defy even my attempts
at description. The wrought iron base is handsome and amply sized,
at 17 inches tall, suitable for a desk. The base is about 7 1/2
inches in diameter.
Sorry, this one's found a happy
new home! SOLD!!

(D) A super high-quality snake
lamp. Look at that precious little venonous head! A magnificently
colored hand-blown art glass shade graces this hand-wrought jewel
of a lamp, which stands 17 1/2 inches tall. (e-mail

(E) So-named according to the tiny
bronze plaque at her foot, Stella stands almost 26 inches high
on her marble base which is 7 inches in diameter. She's signed
something to the effect of "Ant Nelson" (hard to decipher),
and is cast in white metal with a lovely rich bronze verdigris
patina. The ribbon above her head has three small star-shaped
cut-outs behind which is a small sheet of deep amber mica, which
shades the light from a small bulb. (e-mail

(F) Sporting a signed Daum shade,
this silver-plated brass, 23-inch high Art Nouveau lamp is the
prize of my Nouveau lamp collection! The graceful curve, the
stylishly decorated base... ooo la-la! (e-mail

(G) This Art Nouveau ceiling fixture
is of cast bronze and accordingly heavy. The quality? On a par
with Majorelle, I don't mind saying! It's a four-light and diminuitive,
hanging about 16 inches long. As the accompanying photo below
shows, the theme is mistletoe, and what better to convey that
concept than little opalescent glass "berries?" Some
have fallen or been knocked off, but I think I know where I can
have some made. That's just part of the restoration journey that
lies ahead, but it's certainly worth it in the instance of this
rare piece of art.
