<p>[QUOTE="Drew, post: 11432957, member: 3235"]The 1890's wrought oil lamps are most often seen in 45" inch tall piano lamp versions. This stylish table parlor example I found was pulled from 100 years of cellar storage. The burner is marked Fostoria. As with most such late Victorian wrought lighting, it's mild steel not iron. The basket twist leg ends are particularly well done. It actually took metalworking skill to make these lamps. Will do a full refurbish, find a antique ball glass shade & chimney. </p><p>I keep telling myself to stop buying lamps, but can't seem to stop.[ATTACH=full]543381[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
