Question
Hi, I have a yellow with gold lamp (I believe) with handles. It does have a whole at the top and bottome and also a smaller hole in back for probably the cord. It doesn't have any of the wiring or a shade. It has a picture on it with a man and a lady dancing in 1700 period clothing, I'm guessing. With another lady playing something like a guitar. The words on the painting are hard to read. Here again I'm guessing some of it. Fragonard, M. Langbrord. Amsterdam Holland. Thank you, Lisa
)
This type of lamp is known as "George and Martha lamp". They are fairly common and produced in the 1920s theough 1940s. This one has a unique shape and is in good condition. After it is rewired and working it would be worth about $75 tp $100.
Thanks
