1910′s Heavy Large Antique Floor Lamp with Slag Glass Wood & Metal -STUNNING
We have a huge heavy antique slag glass, baluster FLOOR LAMP for sale. This is a very heavy ornate lamp and the post is made of a combination of metal (maybe brass) and wood in a leaf and scroll pattern. The shade is 16 1/4″ square and measures 20″ from the top of the finial to the bottom of the beads. The entire lamp stands just short of 7 feet tall. The base bottom measures 15 1/4″ across and the fattest part of the post is a little over 7″ across. It has a double pull chain light and still sports its original wiring. The shade is made of metal with tabs for holding the glass inserts in. It had slag glass inserts, but l removed them as a couple of the pieces were broken and all of the slag glass pieces – even the broken ones – come with it. I tried to make it match my livingroom decor which is in a French theme, so l had the local glass cutters copy and cut all 12 pieces in plexiglass so that l could cover the plexiglass with fabric to match my room. I glued on the fabric and gloss sealed so it can be cleaned. There was long fringe hanging from the shade, but l removed it and it was so rotten that l threw it away. I bought bead trim and glued it on the inside edge. I think it came out beautiful!! To me it is a lot prettier to use this way, but collectors may want to repair the two broken pieces of slag glass and use them – you get both the plexiglass and the slag glass so it is your choice. And just let it ride to see what happens. I will help anyway l can. This is a family heirloom and l hate to part with it, but it just doesn’t fit my decor. ADDED THIS ON ——– January 6, 2017 ——- If you would like to see similar lampshades like the one on this lamp, google “vintage mission floor lamps” or “vintage craftsman floor lamps” – grandma always called it a slag lamp, but only the glass can be slag and as for the post, l have not seen one like it and l have been trying to find one for years, with hours spent on the net searching.
