Question
I have a lamp that I think was originally my grandmothers. She had great things. I have attached a pic. The shade feels like glass and looks like a seashell almost. It is very heavy and has no markings. I was curious if you have seen something like this and had any info
)
Thanks
This lamp was made between 1910 and 1930, give or take. There were many makers of these type lamps, but when I see this one, Moe Bridges comes to mind. It could be worth around $200 or more depending on its condition and the maker. Search under Moe Bridges lamp on Ebay to find similar.
Thanks
