Salem Bros, Scenic Panel Overlay Slag Lamp, Lions Rabbit Scene In Africa Setting
This type of lamp has been commonly referred to as a slag glass or panel overlay lamp. The lamp is large as it stands 21 1/2″ tall and is 18 1/8″ in diameter, diagonal measurements. The shade measures 15 5/8 wide from flat side to flat side. The lamp displays and scenic overlay scene of what appears to be a scene out of Africa. It is accented with 6 bent or curved slag glass panels and flat stained glass for the sides. The grass is done in a mint green opalescent stained glass with the sky and background done in a blue lavender stained glass. In the overlay you can see a hut with a Lion in the right hand corner and a rabbit in the left. In the sky is an overlay of a tree with lots of branches. The detail in the overlay is outstanding. This shades sits on a 3 arm with a ring or shade holder to simulate a gas type light. It is lit with a single light socket that has a later 3 way interior for 3 levels of light. The base is round on the foot and has a column with raised relief of a torch on each flat side. There is a leaf pattern in raised relief on the foot. This table lamp is in excellent condition. The condition of the shade and base is outstanding for over 100 years of use. The base has no major dings and the shade is free of any cracks. None of the curved glass nor flat panels show any damage. The base is signed on the underside bottom “Salem Bros” in a round wafer shaped disc. I added green felt to protect ones furniture after I took the picture. This lamp has been professionally rewired with period looking brown rayon cord. It still retains its original lamp plug and the 3 way socket works wonderfully well. I have seen similar overlay of this scene done by Miller Lamp and Bradley and Hubbard but this one is of the highest quality I have ever seen. It is strong, thick metal and quite heavy for its size. It will look outstanding in that country farm house or Victorian setting. CLEMENTS ANTIQUES OF NEW HAMPSHIRE STOREFRONT. Please wait for my Invoice before paying. Sign up for Mailing List.
