I think the flair could have also been "electrical" or " advice needed" but "what style" seems appropriate as well.
I have never seen anything like this light before. We just moved into a 1919 Craftsman & we have this amazing light on the stairs.
Does anyone have any information or experience with something like this? A source for different style lights fitting the period? Or strong opinions on preserving it as-is?
The snail was from amber extraordinaire on the Canadian shopping channel, bought about 10 years ago. The shell one I got at an estate sale. It looks pretty old, if anyone knows anything about it I’d love to hear more.. and the mermaid one is my most recent acquisition from eBay.
Hi there!
This is most likely an extremely long shot, but I wanted to give it a go anyway.
I came across this vintage lamp about two or three years ago at The Depot at Gibson Mill Antique Mall, in the Charlotte area. I absolutely fell in love with it, but it was out of my budget at the time. I’ve had a ton of regret for doing so ever since.
I know it’s not everyone’s style, but this lamp has genuinely haunted me for three years. There’s something about it that’s so warm and nostalgic that I just love. I’ve looked for similar versions but have never found any I loved in the same way.
On the off chance that anyone in this community recognizes this lamp, bought it yourself, or if you know someone who bought it, I’d love to know!!
If you happen to be the current owner and would ever consider selling it, I’d be happy to pay a fair price.
That’s all! Thanks so much. ❤️
My grandfather gave these to me—tells me they are “moonlighters” used by farmers to light a path on their way to the barn when it is dark. Mind you, HE was not a farmer, he acquired these things from an acquaintance years ago…anyone know if he’s right, and/or who might want these things and what I could get for them?
No clue what these are made of or actually worth, but can’t recall ever seeing a price this high at Deseret Industries (“D.I.”).
helllo!
This was a lamp I bought on Facebook Marketplace in the USA. From what I know its a "Bridge Lamp" from the brand Rembrandt. The person I bought it from said that it came from a friend of theirs who was into antiques, and they were from Upstate NY.
Rembrandt was a company in Chicago from 1910 to 1930 that was famous for these lamps. I have seen many different designs, but this seahorse-specific one I have is one I cannot find much on. While there may be seahorse ones, it is a different style than the one shown here. I found information about a "Hippocampus" collection, of which these seahorses are supposed to be stylized mythical creatures. While I have seen one or two lamps online that share the same top part, I have yet to see any lamps that have the two additional sea horses in the middle of the pole as well. The base is onyx and doesnt have any cracks. The lamp works, and it's also very straight and stable (despite the pictures being taken at an angle).
Honestly, I just want any information anyone can provide on the lamp beyond what I have heard. I've asked Google AI, and they give me information about this being more of a rarer variant. thanks!
Trying to find out where/when this lamp is from. There’s no identifying marks or words. I did rewire it because it was broke. (Also, blocked out her cleavage lol)
