Vintage Lamps

It is without question that the most glamorous lamps are vintage. They just didn’t know how to make ’em cheap back then. Fortunately, if you held on to your great-grandmother’s Tiffany lamp, you are holding on to quite the valuable piece now.

    I’m looking for info on Salexe Inc. They made lamps in the 1950’s and had a company address listed in a 1957 San Francisco phone directory. I have a table lamp made by them but cannot find any info on the company on the internet. Can you help?

        I am looking for the maker of this French Bouillotte lamp, there is a slight mark along the side of the base, but, I cannot make out what it is.
        Is there anyway of posting the marking and the lamp?

          Can anyone help me find information on a table lamp that is at least 60 years old. It looks like a street lamp that has a hanging, six-sided globe that tapers almost to a point. The base looks like a building.

          Do you know if they produced a wooden floor lamp with a leather bell shaped shade. The shade says “artistic” on label but could have been from another base. The shade has painting of roses and birds but has darkened with time. I’m trying to restore it. Any suggestions appreciated

        Artistic Brass & Bronze Made wonderful floor lamps. You can look it up on the net, I have a super piece by them and really can’t find a similar piece. Look up Artistic brass and Bronze NYC. Good luck in your search.

      Hi? Did you ever learn what the F in the key / switch stood for? I have a lamp with an F on the light bulb socket and would love to learn more. Thanks!

      1. Janet Booream

        My vintage lamp has an F on the switch and is made by Falkenstein. Unfortunately, I do not know anything about the company other than it made similar lamps to Ef & Ef Industries of the 70s.

    I have a beautiful lamp. Under the felt it reads CORMELL, CORNELL, OR CORWELL. (Where the M,N, or W is has a little crack so its hard to tell) Then a space and MC. THE NUMBER IS 1157. With very little letters stamped into it. I can make out Italy but thats it. So after researching it, I figured MC is for Marche or Macerata. The number I figure is the model number, but the the name I cant find. Do you have an idea?

  6. Sam

    I have an antique lamp from my grandmother and want to know more about it. It’s a solid brass table lamp with one glass ball right below the socket. A solid glass ball clear with bubbles in the glass. In a pattern the bubbles are in the glass. The only writing I could find is Goodwin specialties 250w 250v UL now I found that. That is the pull cord socket but as for the lamp it’s self there is nothing on it to determine anything can you help

    I have a tall thick solid brass square bass claw feet, middle in leaf pattern, column at third, topped of with 4 scrolls before the lighting fixing. I have seen one similar called a neoclassical table lamp. This one has a marking which is not imprinted but out printed?? raised above.. L & L 8334

    1. April

      Yours is similar to mine, it is a L&L WMC lamp (Loevsky & Loevsky, white metal castings co.)
      from Carlstadt NJ 1937-early 70’s…your model number is right behind mine so yours is one of the early 60’s models because in the beginning the makers mark only had L&L and #### , and later on, the makers mark changed to L&L WMC ####. The bulk of these are from the 60’s with some being from 70-71 and then the company filed for bankruptcy i believe. Yours should be from 1962-63 range…based on your model number.
      I’m an antique collector… Yours is called Hollywood Baroque 🙂

    Has anyone heard of a company Green & Green out of San Francisco area ? I have heard their lamps can bring as much as $500 k- but I can’t find any information on them.

      I just noticed your question over a year later in doing some research myself. There was a company called “Greene and Greene” with an “e” at the end. Extremely famous, they operated out of the Pasadena area and were architects of the Arts & Crafts Movement known for their intricate woodwork and innovative bungalow designs. Like Frank Lloyd Wright, they expanded the architect’s role to include designing not only the home but the furnishings such as furniture, rugs, art glass and lighting fixtures. If you do indeed possess a Greene and Greene lamp (and not some imitator trying to trade on the name by calling themselves Green and Green and operating out of California) you have a very valuable object indeed although half a million seems a bit high. If interested check out Google on “The Gamble House”; their most famous commission. Hope you’ve hit it big; good luck.

    Have brass pendant hall lamp stamped M & H. Every part is stamped 1919 or 1921. Each of the 4 sides has a unicorn in center surrounded by grape/vines. The bottom ornament has a dragon head dingle. The top has 4 arms that end in small castle that attaches to ceiling part. It came from a Maher designed house in Kenilworth, Illinois. That house was built ca. 1890s-1900.

    I need some help on identifying a generic name for a type of lamp that has a metal shade and when activated by a light underneath spins in a circular motion creating a silhouette on the ceiling of a room. My grandmother lived in Pennsylvania near State College. I believe the lamp was probably made in the Pa area but not for sure. I am guessing the lamp with the shade was from the 1900’s to 1950’s era. Thanks so much.

        The lamps you are referring to that were labeled Lamp Fashion Mftg. were made in the Bronx, NY probably at 1100 Bronx River Ave. but there was an earlier location in the Northeast Bronx. the company was started and owned by Italian immigrant Nick Paletta. My father worked for them many years.

It’s even missing the shade and has been Frankensteined together.I paid a reasonable price for mine-no giant bargain, but not a ripoff, and almost everything except for the wiring is original.Please email me if you learn anything more. Will also do research.Dates on line are all over the place, but mine is art deco-1920s to 1940s, jadeite base.

    What do you know about floor lamps manufactured by Brady Mfg in Detroit, Michigan? It’s identified by a sticker that says “Brady Lite” followed by “Detroit – Patent Pending”
    It looks to be a Gothic Revival style, maybe 1920’s? It has a brass shade with mica inserts and a flip up portion to reveal a magnifying glass for brighter reading light.
    The estate auction I got it from was a gentleman that was a Shriner, and he had a lot of Mason memorabilia.
    I found a similar style “Smoking Lamp,” but I can find no information whatsoever about the company.

    McKenney and Waterbury was a Boston firm that sold lamps and fixtured to promote electrification of homes and businesses. Whaley opened a storefront in New York in 1901 and made shades for several lamp manufacturers of the day.

    I have a McKenney and Waterbury lamp with J.A. Whaley ‘Poinsettia’ shade that was given to my great grandmother as a wedding present in 1917.

    Re: AP. for Champion PAT. Hanging Bronze Lightfixture
    I have a bronze hanging lightfixture, it’s heavy, and fastened together by old nuts bolts the pieces that hold the light bulbs have a very old look as if it were an old candle dripping. I wish I could post a picture but I’m not quite sure how to go about doing that?? The markings I can find say ( and it’s just like the following) AP. for Champion PAT. This is on all five of the base that holds the candle stick looking where the bulb goes. If you remove the bulb the words Mexico are on each base. I checked Google, eBay, with no luck. Does anyone know how to post a phone on here and or have any information on the light? Thanks so much. TJ. My guess is AP was the person that designed it for Champion but I have no clue who Champion was and what PAT is unless it was for the the patent number and they couldn’t fit it on there?? Any information would be greatly appreciated.
    Sincerely,
    TJ

    I have a ships lantern made by Artistic Brass & Bronze Works. It is all steel construction and has a small brass plate soldered on it which reads MARINE-DIVISION ARTISTIC BRASS & BRONZE WKS
    NEW-YORK, N.Y. It has the original kerosene burner and chimney but has a short crack in the fresnel lens.
    I am curious about the age, value, and company history.

    Have a lamp with 3 sockets surrounding a 4th. I’ve look up everywhere trying to find it’s maker/age. The bottom is clear to read and says 101 5LB OCT. Has a circle marble followed by the brass like material. I’m thinking this may be pieces together and it’s driving my wife and I completely bonkers. My email is cocms01@gmail.com and if you send subject lamp and then any info here or there would be lovely! Also has beautiful pinkish shades but I believe them not to be original. The lamp had a white glass bowl on the center socket or maybe even a tulip like I assume to be a diffuser style lamp. A magnet does stick to the lamp so I don’t think it’s too too old. I can’t find any other markings but the bottom may have been added at some point making it impossible to actually see the original bottom. The marble round slab at the bottom is white and brown.

    I have a small cast lamp base that has the raised markings of:
    Ill
    L & L

    Is this a marking for loevsky and loevsky before they went to L & L WMC?
    And what does the first mark refer to?
    There are no numbers printed at all on this base
    Thank you for any information

    How about the Globe Lamp Company. I believe they were out of New York. I have two of the exact same model, one in copper in one in brass. Great design and impressive size with two bulbs and curved glass protectors that slide in through the side the other removable and caps. Both of them work fabulously.

    I had a dark brass and light pink glass globe table lamp that was donated accidently and I would like to have one reproduced. It was approx. 20″ tall of a Roman or Victorian lady. I have found the exact base on ebay, but not one with the “ovalish” light pink glass globe. It is named any of the following: Victorian Lamp, Boudoir Lamp, Roman Lady Figure Globe Lamp, Roman Lady Table Lamp, Victorian Style Cast Brass Metal Lady Figural Globe Lamp. Does anyone know of a company that can reproduce a lamp like this. I do have a picture. Thank you so much for any information you can give me.

    You omitted Phil-Mar Corporation in your lamp category. Phil-Mar’s mid-century lamps were very popular from the 1940s-1970s. They produced the drip-glaze lamps and animal shaped TV lamps. They are very sought after today, and are selling for top-dollar.

    Hello! I am looking for any information about a 1950s lamp manufacturer that was in San juan capistrano, CA in the 1950s.

    Possibly Josef or Joseph in the name.

    My mother in law was a painter there. If love to find her a lamp from the company as a gift.

    We have a lamp that has been in the family for about 50-60 years, no knowledge of its origin. The base which is of a heavy metal, not iron, is gray and has been painted or coated to appear to be bronze. The underside of the base is stamped with an underlined G. Using a flashlight, numbers are faintly visible on the edge of the reverse painted shade. The outer surface of the shade is rough, as if it may contain fine sand. Does anyone have a suggestion as to the vintage of this lamp, the manufacturer or where I may information about the numbers on the shade?

    A glaring omission from the list is Miller 1844 to about 1925. I have two slag table lamps, a signed one with a 1919 Pat date another without the date and a brass goose neck desk lamp.

    I have a pair of brass table lamps, medium round base with a long slim neck. Round base decorated in a Chinese motif, dragon, chicken, medallions. Mark on bottom looks like a very small heart and maybe an anchor stamped. Lamps are about 24″ high. Any clues for a mark like that? I have a photo.

    I have a pole lamp with EXGU (I think) and the number 6 on the base there are also two symbols that resemble a pair of crossed arrows with some kind of line above them. Does anyone know anything about this mark? It is a beautiful lamp and would like to find out anything I could. Thanks

    Hi looking for more information on a 12 panel green slag brass base lamp. I would say tulip shaped. The brass or metal holding the “petals” are thick and solid. The edges of the “pedal” are laced. There also is a black “bead” type thing a couple inches from the bottom of the shaft part of the stand. Thank you

    I have before me a lamp that I was told is from the 40’s. I believe it is brown glass that has been coated with white on the inside of the base and the underside of the shade. I sort of think the glass shade and base have been carved with 1″ wide lines they are pretty random and don’t seem to come together @90 degrees but come Close. It has three candle style type a bulbs in it atop of the base nestled in an antique brass 3 arm support for the shade. It has a rheostat built into the inline switch. lastly it has a pm stamped into the side of the base near where the cord enters the base

    Here’s a big mfg: VERPLEX, in Essex, Connecticut. Made lamps & lampshades from the 1930s through the 1970s. We have a pair of their black rod lamps from the 1940s (photo would not paste).

    You might also check out “FIREMAN BROS.” out of Brooklyn, NY. They made lampshades; not sure about lamps. We have one of their 1940s (I believe) lampshades, but so far haven’t been able to find any info about the company

    Thanks. Good luck!

    I have an old brass floor lamp with a beautiful Art Deco design on the base.
    On the bottom it had cast “ Expert Lamp MFG Co” with a model number of 1015? Or was it perhaps made in October 1915? Any info or links would help me identify?

What do you remember?
