<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ex Libris, post: 4498310, member: 14916&quot;]As some maybe know I am a collector of early modern books. One of the areas where my interest lies are books with recycled (medieval) manuscripts. That looks like this:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]393260[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The old vellum was also used in furniture, mostly in lamp shades. I have a few in my collection:</p><p><br /></p><p>Number 1: A standing lamp with a wooden base</p><p>[ATTACH=full]393261[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]393270[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Example 2: Only a shade with a great capital C.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]393262[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]393263[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Example 3: A kind of steampunk wall lamp with metal</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]393264[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]393265[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The manuscript fragments seem from the mass like a missal and not very old (18th century) for manuscript fragments. I have not really a clue about the objects as lamps. I guess they are early 20th century. Example 1 and 3 have lamp fittings, but those can be added later again.</p><p><br /></p><p>Can anyone tell me about the age and origine of these lamps? Are they rare? Any input is welcome!</p><p><br /></p><p>Don&#039;t hesitate to call them ugly, because they are hahahaha.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks in advance.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
