What I have to offer for your viewing pleasure here is this beautiful pair of rare antique Jadeite green glass table lamps! In 30 years I have sold over a 1,000 pieces of lighting and every so often I come across and a truly exceptional piece of lighting or pair of lamps made with unusual materials and in a unique style, these are that pair of lamps. I have never seen anything like this pair of lamps, they are amazing to say the least! Made of fine and delicate but solid Jadeite green glass, trimmed in gleaming gold bands, with gold floral sprays around the necks down to the Greek Key bands adorning the bases they are something unique and special all right. Though those aren't even the best parts. That is reserved for the hand enamel painted scrolling leaves and vines in several shades of dark green with the cream white, yellow and vivid red flowers at the centers. The Jadeite green glass bodies have a creamy tone to them. The bodies of vases are timeless Neo-Classical urn forms with upturned necks above oval bodies that are perched a top multi-tiered pedestal feet. One of a kind is used a lot these days, but these really are a one of a kind pair. They are breathtaking, stunning, gorgeous, all of the above, an exceptionally beautiful pair of lamps fit for a palace! They are both in superb overall condition for their age with no chips, nicks or cracks, there is a crack like area on top of one rim that I believe was done during its making since there is gold inside of it. There is gold wear to the rims and one area on a pedestal looks like someone attempted to touch up paint it with gold. They have three-way double sockets on each lamp above beautiful open work pierced gilded brass bases. Each lamp stands 30.5" tall to the finials and 18-1/4" tall to the rims. The rims measure 6" wide, the body's are 5-1/2" at their widest and the bases measure 6-1/2" wide.
