Very Rare Steuben Shade Brass/Bronze Single Sconce #S121899D: I tried very hard to capture the beauty of this fine old shade. The glare from the flash is quite distracting.

The detail photos show both the bronze workmanship and shade beauty. The last photo has a bit of yellow on the left hand side of the shade. This color is not in the actual shade.

This is a very special shade. It is unusual to find one but I will tell you that I have a similar shade with a blue bottom! Soon I will find it and do photos as similar shades are great in two different bedrooms. SOLD

Heavy Brass Floor Lamp with VERY Special Vintage Nautical Paper Shade #F111002A: This natural patina brass floor lamp is quite heavy so you do not have to worry about it tipping over as most "paper shaded" lamps tend to do. I am sure you are shaking your head as I very seldom have anything but fine glass and crystal shades in my shop. This c.1950's nautical shade is one of the best I have seen and I knew I had the perfect c.1930's base for it. The shade colors are most true in the fourth photo but there is a flash spot in the center. The next row of shade photos show design detail but have light distortion on the sides. The last three photos are with the lamp on and are fairly true in color. The bottom shade diameter is 12". This lamp stands about 4.5' tall and is a perfect accent for that Cape Cod room next to your favorite reading chair. SOLD
