Antique Brass Converted Victorian Parlor Floor Lamp

You are bidding on an antique victorian floor lamp. The lamp is georgous and appears to have a peach blow colored glass hand-painted shade. The lamp is dripping with crystals, eminates an wonderful ambience, and and has been converted to electric.

Overall the lamp is in excellent condition. There is a crack on one of the brass pieces (pictured). The crack does not show unless you get down and look underneath. Also, three of the decorated brass pieces that surround the glass shade are missing, or were removed at some point, but unless your studying the lamp with scrutiny they go unnoticed.

The lamp stands 68" to the top of the glass chimney shade. You may pick the lamp up in Springfield Tn. (about 25 miles north of Nashville), or I will happily deliver it within the Nashville area for a nominal fee. (Gas money). » Continue reading "Antique Brass Converted Victorian Parlor Floor Lamp"
