HERES AN OLD LAMP OUT OF MY PERSONAL COLLECTION. I A NOT A DEALER BUT A COLLECTOR OF ANTIQUE LAMPS, ESPECIALLY ART DECO LAMPS FROM THE 1920'S AND 30'S. THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1920'S J.B. HIRSCH GERDAGO FIGURINE LAMP. IT FEATURES A DANCING LADY IN A PIXIE OR HARLEQUIN STYLE. SHE IS MADE OF FRENCH SPELTER METAL.SHE STANDS 9" TALL AND HAS ITS ORIGINAL GUILDED COLORING. THE FACE IS IVORINE, AN EARLY TYPE OF PLASTIC SIMULATING IVORY. HER PAINTED FEATURES ARE ORIGINAL. SHE HAS NO DAMAGE. THE PEDESTAL OR PLINTH IS 4" SQUARE WITH BEAUTIFUL STRIATIONS IN THE MARBLE. OFTEN YOU FIND THESE LAMPS WHERE THE LADY IS BENT TO ONE SIDE SLIGHTLY OR THE LAMP GLOBE HOLDER IS DEFECTIVE. THIS LAMP IS IN MINT CONDITION. THE MILLEFIORI GLOBE IS PERFECT, WITHOUT FLAWS. TO MY KNOWLEDGE THEY DONT MAKE THESE GLOBES ANYMORE. THEY ARE RARE AND EXPENSIVE WHEN FOUND. EACH LITTLE COLORED FLOWER WAS ORIGINALLY A LONG CANE OF MOLTEN GLASS. WHILE MOLTEN, THE ITALIANS WOULD CUT THEM INTO PIECES TO FORM THE GLOBE, WHICH WAS BLOWN INTO ITS ROUND SHAPE. IT IS FANTASTIC WHEN LIGHTED. THERE IS A CANDELABRA SIZED BULB. THE WIRING IS OLDER BUT STILL IN GOOD CONDITION. IT HAS AN INLINE ON OFF SWITCH. I AM NOT REQUIRING A RESERVE, AS I AM CONFIDENT KNOWLEDGEABLE COLLECTORS WILL APPRECIATE ITS RARENESS AND CONDITION AND BID ACCORDINGLY. BUYER AGREES TO PAY POSTAGE AND INSURANCE.
