OBVIOUSLY THE BEST QUALITY CANNOT ALSO BE THE CHEAPEST BUT I BELIEVE MY PRICES ARE EXTREMELY COMPETITIVE AND THAT ONE TOP QUALITY LAMP IS BOTH A BETTER LONG TERM INVESTMENT AND A SOURCE OF MORE PLEASURE THAN SEVERAL CHEAPLY MADE EXAMPLES. I HAVE MADE MANY FRIENDS THROUGH THIS BUSINESS AND HOPE TO MAKE MANY MORE. OFFERED HERE IS AN EXTREMELY RARE CUT GLASS OIL LAMP FROM THE 1850-80 PERIOD WITH SULPHIDE INCLUSIONS OF SHAKESPEARE AND BARRY INSIDE THE COLUMN.
ALTHOUGH I BELIEVE THIS EXAMPLE MAY HAVE BEEN MADE BY BACCARAT IN FRANCE THE PROCESS OF PUTTING A CERAMIC PORTRAIT MINIATURE INTO GLASS WAS INVENTED BY APSLEY PELLATT IN ENGLAND IN 1819. IT IS A VERY LARGE AND IMPRESSIVE PIECE , ALL FREE BLOWN AND HAND CUT AND ALL TOTALLY ORIGINAL AND UNDAMAGED! THE MOUNTS ARE SILVER PLATED , IT HAS A HINKS & SON DUPLEX BAYONET COLLAR AND STANDS 23 INCHES TALL.... IT IS 20 YEARS SINCE I SAW ANOTHER , IT IS A RARE AND PRECIOUS LAMP FOR SALE IN A YEAR OF SHAKESPEARE CELEBRATIONS... YOU CAN ALWAYS TALK TO ME USING THE DETAILS ABOVE!
