Offered is a pair (2) of handblown and etched globes. These beautiful handmade glass globes belonged to a large solid bronze table lamp from France. It had 2 ornate arms with crystal points hanging around each arm/globe. It belonged to my Grandparents.
These globes are at least 100 years old and mostlikely originating in the late 1800's. My Grandmother told me my grandparents bought the lamp in New Orleans in the early 1900's. I do not know how old the lamp was when it was purchased but, as I remember it was a converted gas lamp and was already vintage.
If you look very carefully in the etching pictures you'll see a baby is etched holding a plant frown. The chikd is etched in several locations. I dont knuw if it's a Cupid as I dont see any wings. Lovely!
The bronze lamp had many bronze curls around both arms. Some of the bronze curls broke off in moving it many years ago. I put these globes and the crystals away for safekeeping. I have not cleaned these since unpacking them. I'll leave that to the person purchasing them. I have not found any chips, fractures or (unfortunately) signatures or hallmarks. Please feel free to make as offer.
I'm hoping someone will be able to use these beautiful globes for their restoration. Please see the pictures for measurments. To be a bit more clear, the bases measure 2 5/8" and they are about 9" high.
