Bigelow & Kennard Slag Glass 8 Panel Lamp Arts & Crafts Period

An antique Arts & Crafts table lamp by Bigelow and Kennard of Boston offers filigree cast shade having foliate, gadroon, and scroll design housing 8 slag glass panels over double socket cast base with maker mark BK as photographed on the base, c1860′s. Martin Parry Kennard joined the firm in 1845, which prompted the company to change its name to Bigelow Bros. After 1863, the firm was named Bigelow, Kennard & Co. This lamp works perfectly. By the cord it appears to have been rewired around the mid 1960′s-1970′s. It is 28.5 tall. Lamp shade is 18″ wide x 7″ tall. It is missing a couple of tabs to hold the glass (as shown). The glass will not fall out at all. This piece was gold gilded. The gold gilting has worn off in some places on the base stem and a few other spots. It is 100 years old some wear is inevitable. One glass panel has a rough edge but cannot be seen from the outside of the shade.
