Antique 8 Panel Caramel Slag Glass Table Lamp Figural Ram Head Base Arts Crafts
Antique 8-Panel Caramel Slag Glass Table Lamp. Ornate Figural Cast Metal Base with Ram Heads & Classical Figures. A beautiful and unusually detailed antique slag glass table lamp, featuring a large 8-panel caramel slag glass shade paired with an elaborate sculptural cast metal base. The base is one of the most distinctive features of this lamp. It has raised classical decoration, sculptural ram heads, figural/angel medallions, and an aged dark metal finish. We have seen other antique lamps with similar caramel slag glass shades, but have not found another example with this exact base design. The large eight-panel shade is made with individual curved caramel slag glass panels. When illuminated, the glass produces a warm amber/golden glow with natural variations and movement throughout each panel. Antique table lamp. 8 individual curved caramel slag glass panels. Approximately 18 diameter shade. Approximately 23.5 overall height. Heavy ornate cast metal construction. Sculptural ram head details on the base. Classical figural / angel medallion decoration. Two Bryant pull-chain sockets. Both sockets and pull chains are working. Older replacement electrical cord. Shade frame has an interior HB/HP-type marking/stamp. Original aged patina / finish – the lamp has not been repainted. Bulbs shown in the photos are included. Very good antique condition overall with age-appropriate wear and patina. The slag glass panels display beautifully and the lamp is fully functional. Please review all photographs carefully, including close-up photos of the glass, metalwork, sockets, wiring, base, and markings. The photos are an important part of the condition description. Because of its age, the electrical cord appears to be an older replacement rather than original to the lamp. The shade frame has an interior marking that appears to read “HB” or HP. We are showing the marking clearly in the photographs rather than making an unsupported maker attribution. The unusual figural base, with its ram heads and classical decorative elements, is particularly interesting. If you recognize the maker or pattern, we would be very interested to hear from you. This is a substantial antique lamp with a striking presence both illuminated and unlit. The combination of the large caramel slag glass shade and highly decorative figural base makes it an especially unusual example of early decorative lighting. The lamp will be packed with special attention to the antique glass shade and heavy metal base.
