Such an embarrassment of riches!!! Arguably the finest table/desk lamp I've ever had, impoverished collector that I am. Dare I say it? Yes: museum-worthy, this, like, totally awesome French Art Nouveau desk or table lamp with its signed, acid cut-back, multi-colored Le Verre Francais shade. Seventeen inches tall, perfect antique condition, a once-in-a-lifetime moment!

As befitting "the best," this FLEW out the door! SOLD!!! As impolite as it is to have a sold item on the site, I can't resist leaving this here for those who will appreciate it as much as I.

 

(A) Sporting a signed Daum Nancy shade, this silver-plated brass, 23-inch high Art Nouveau lamp is certainly the current prize of my Nouveau lamp collection! The graceful swanlike curve, the stylishly decorated base...it's ooo la-la time here on the old farm. There's some silver loss (that over-zealous Fifi the French maid again!), lending it even greater air of antiquity! (e-mail Jack for a price)

 

(B) This lovely Schneider shade sits astride an American Art Nouveau lamp, which as you probably know, is not exactly around every corner. The base is made of solid brass, an additional distinction, and as you can readily see, is nicely ornamented. It stands 14 inches high. (e-mail Jack for a price)

 

(C) This French babe's got all the right curves, and is gloriously adorned by a (signed) Steuben calcite shade with a deliciously gold interior which, when lit, provides an irresistible warm, gold tone. The French base is probably over a hundred years old, authentic Art Nouveau, and all brass. I've affixed an American do-dad to allow the socket and shade to be attached. As you can perhaps see, it allows the shade to be swivelled about. Eighteen inches tall! (e-mail Jack for a price)
