My husband and I just nabbed this antique lamp at an auction for $3. I think it is beautiful! It has a marking on the bottom saying HK MONIF 645 Madison Ave, New York. I have been unable to find anything about this other than this address is tied to a 13th century Syrian antique for sale in France. Perhaps HK Monif was an auction house? I'm very interested in knowing more about this lamp, what decade its from, where was it from, etc etc. I want to find a lamp shade for it but no idea what would "match". Unfortunately it looks like it was broken and put together again. I'm going to be cleaning it gently and taking some more photos but I'm so eager to know more I couldn't wait to post lol! Any idea how I can find out more about this beauty? *Editted to remove some of the terrible dark pictures I took last night and replace with slightly better photos. Thanks, sun!*[/QUOTE]
