This was my grandmothers and I'm not sure where or when she obtained it.
It seems to be 3 metal (maybe bronze?) crains for flamingos surrounding a glass center piece. I'm hoping someone can give me some info.
Thanks
The simplicity, design, plug, and possible material seem very Art Nouveau to me. However, I'm not sure about the birds in the design. Are there any markings on the plug or the bottom?
Could be Art Deco? It looks more Nouveau to me, but let me know about the markings.
I responded once, but it isn't showing up so I'm going to try again.
On one of the bulb sockets I found the work LEVITON. Under the base I found raised letters/numbers that I interpret as l15l C 2852. The 3rd & 4th were partly unreadable due to a hole for a screw. I differentiated between l and 1 because the l didn't seem to have the hook that the 1 had. It would help if I could clean it up a bit but I'm afraid to do anything not knowing what metal it is. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Your lamp is most likely made of brass.
Leviton the name of the company that made the electrical outlet/socket.
Fabulous!
