Antique Plaster Banquet Table Lamp

Hello, I'm new to the forum and I would love help placing the origin and any other information one of you may have on this lamp. I purchased the set over twenty years ago in Upstate New York, they're considerably heavy and have mica panels. I thought they had a "Moorish" influence, I've done some research but come up empty each time. I appreciate any feedback, Thanks!

Easier for all to see. TY!

 

Thank you

 

What makes you think it's antique?

 

You're welcome. And now so much easier to see!

 

It was very old when I bought it? I've been collecting for over thirty years

 

What is it made of? Is the base bronze and the shade gesso over wood? Can you show a picture of the bottom of the base please? Nice lamp!

 

Can you show the base, cord, and possibly the bulb socket?.

 

Thank you anund. Makes it much better to see. My gut tells me 40"s when plaster was all the rage in lamps. Could still be newer but without seeing crucial areas it's hard to tell

 

Here’s a pair that sold nine years ago for $800 plus premium.

That looks like them. They were stating wood with gesso. OP stated his are plaster? If they are wood then 1920s would fit.

 

Those are awesome...but I cannot imagine locating them with the search term Decorative Table Lamps!

 

No but gesso wood lamp is in the description, that’s what I searched for.

 

Yeah, well maybe because you're just smart like that!

 

He is one of the best there is here.

 

He really is !

 

I am on board with a 20s-30s date for these. A bit too fussy for an earlier 20th century date but the mica panels do put them fairly early. By the 40s, these would have been deemed a bit too old fashioned.

 

Thank you so much! These are indeed my lamps, your help was greatly appreciated.

 

Yes, looks like wood with plaster over them, link took me right to auction site where a pair identical sold Thanks for your input!

 

And Yes, Gesso, Not Plaster
