Item History & Price
Up for consideration, a grand museum quality 130+ year Victorian era English made 4” fitter acid etched and embossed with festoons glass oil lampshade. This shade has it all!!No damage, cracks or repairs. Original over 120+ years old. Does have a few inclusive air bubbles and a couple of glass maker marks indicative of Victorian art glass craftsmanship. If you need more photographs, please let me know.The intricate acid etched lattice artwork and embosse...d festoon design in the glass shade is beautifully carried out around the shade and beautifully transitions from the unique orange amber frilled top to clear glass towards the bottom to accentuate the light and inside works of your lamp. The expertise in the artwork in the transition in the glass colors is stunning and a beautiful tribute to a bygone era of glass artwork craftsmanship. The last photograph shows the shade on a lit authentic Messengers duplex oil lamp with a 4" fitter. Please note that the lamp is not included. Please see all photos and judge for yourself.
The beautiful top ruffled glass flares out to a grand and generous diameter of 8”.The color starts out as a beautiful orange-amber and graduates to a clear frosted or etched glass fitter.Please view all photographs, as they are part of the description. Please note that the lamp in the last photo is not included with the shade. It is just to give a good reference. I pack very well and will insure the package for the value paid. I will ship worldwide.
