Description
I have up for sale a wonderful vintage / antique circa 1920s Stained Glass Hanging Lamp Shade. This is a True Vintage Shade dates to the 1920s , it is not a reproduction. The fruit pattern is one of the most copied of stained glass designs but this one is a true vintage original dating to circa 1920s not a remake.The shade measures approx 20-1/2" or so diameter. The shade features a Fruit pattern, with the pieces of fruit 3 dimensional / blown out. There are 3 grape clusters, 3 apples, and 3 pears. Look closely at the pics, you can pickup the nice variegated colors in the glass.
The glass has wonderful coloration and the fruit are blown out - instead of flat pieces are 3 dimension. The shade was made with copper foil which is one of the indicators of a true vintage lamp. Current day shades have inferior glass and much heavier leading which is not done with copper foil.
There is a single socket as you can see - could be replaced with a cluster .
Overall condition is Excellent considering its age and type. I see 2 very tight hairlines and one piece that has a manufacturing striation line but is not a crack. I notice one of the grapes is slightly different in color , not sure if its original or not. This piece is blue in color and is flat , the rest of the grapes are red in color and are rounded in shape. The shade is tight , the leading excellent. Some minor wear to the finish on the leading which shows true age.
I am not positive but if the upper crown section removes,if so - I will do so when packaging.
