Antique Miller green Slag Glass Boudoir Lamp 2 x signed Handel, B&H period
I’ve had this antique slag glass Miller boudoir lamp in my collection for 7 or 8 years. It is a rare form, and I like it, but it’s time to sell and make some room. It is 16 tall to the top of the finial and has a 6′ base. The lamp is signed twice. The socket says Miller Lamps and the base is marked E M & Co 1128. The shade is vented and has 6 sides. It is 10″ at the widest dimension, 8 1/2″ across the parallel sides, and 6 1/4 tall. Over all it is in pretty good antique condition. It does have some wear to the finish as you can see. The satin finish glass is complete and unbroken. That being said, it does have one replaced panel. When I first got it I had a local gentlemen make the repair. He did a very good job with the curve and color match. For some reason the difference in color shows more on the inside. From the outside, weather lit or unlit , it is barely discernible, and would have to be pointed out to most people. 1 and 2 show the repaired panel. At the time the glass was repaired I also had a small crack in the shade frame soldered. It can be seen in picture 11. It’s quite solid and has given me no trouble. The shade is straight and has all off it’s glass tabs. Generally I use a 40 watt small size bulb in this lamp as seen in the pictures. That seems to show the glass off the nicest. It gives off as nice minty green light when lit that is impossible to reproduce in photos. The push pull lamp socket works very well and has been rewired with period appropriate cloth covered cord.
