<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Nat Chrenshaw, post: 188108, member: 3434&quot;]Dear Antiquers, </p><p><br /></p><p>this is a glass ceiling lamp that has been in my family since about three generations back. It was apparently bought in the U.S.A., but I have a feeling that it may be French. </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii616/OldWhiteBeard/Moon%20lamp%201_zpsyh2aipqo.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii616/OldWhiteBeard/Moon%20lamp%204_zpst1bifa8z.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>I have searched the web to find something similar, but with no luck so far. </p><p><br /></p><p>The hand painted &quot;man in the moon&quot; appears to me to be related to the European postcards dating back to the Victorian era, like this one: </p><p><img src="http://thegraphicsfairy.com/wp-content/uploads/blogger/_CarNcodpCMA/TAruAdX-1gI/AAAAAAAAH0A/nmebWWH7sZk/s1600/moon-graphicsfairy004.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Also, the top of the lamp has some kind of &quot;fleur-de-lis&quot;, which perhaps also could be a hint that the lamp has French origins? </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii616/OldWhiteBeard/Moon%20lamp%203_zpsnereoyad.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>What are your thoughts? Where and when might it have been made? </p><p><br /></p><p>Best regards, </p><p>Nat[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
