A Pair of Italian Gilt Metal Mounted Glass Fluid Lamps

19th century
each spherical shade painted to show cranes in a forest landscape, the glass bodies of fluted lobed form.
Height of lamp base 17 inches.

With U.S.-compatible bulb sockets. Electrical outlet plugs recently converted from European to U.S.-compatible. Metal with slightly duller patina. Blue glass intact without cracks, chips or restorations. Glass shades sturdy and in attractive condition, but one shade has two very tiny hairline cracks forming, probably from impact during shipping. These are visible in the additional photos available upon request.
