Charles Parker (attr.) Leaded Slag Stained Glass Lamp Handel Tiffany Era

Please take a look, ask questions, and let me know if you need any additional pictures. Take a look at this really unusual and highly colorful leaded lamp that I believe was made by Charles Parker. There isn’t a lot of information out there about this company, but I have owned a few of their lamps (mostly overlays) and this certainly has all of the characteristics of that company. I will my pictures do most of the talking here, and from these you can see the wonderful bright colors and designs in this fantastic lamp. What is unusual about this one is the use of almost all bent glass which is more difficult and was more costly to do since it involved bending the pieces before assembling them. Te glass is all granite backed as well which really makes it fire when lit. In terms of size, the shade measures 17″ in diameter and the lamp is 22″ tall. In terms of condition I see no cracks or chips in the glass panels which means this one was very well cared for. The wonderful floral petal themed triple stem. Base has a beautiful copper colored finish that looks perfect with the shade. It is marked with what I believe is the Charles Parker symbol and the model number 1709. This is a very nice, rare and quite beautiful example of one of Charles Parker’s lamps that would stand out in any setting. If you like lamps or need parts please feel free to look at my other auctions or contact me. That being said, please do not embarrass yourself with a lowball offer thinking you are going to get such a lamp like this. It is just a waste of both of our times. If you want to get a cheap lamp, go to WalMart or Ikea. If you are watching this just to watch and see if it sells, that’s fine.
