ANTIQUE GALLE LAMP PURCHASE IN JAPAN 1998

Description


Good day,

While I was living in Japan in 1998.  My husband purchase this lamp for me.  He bought it off base at an antique furniture store.  I drove home every day and just loved the bright calm glow of it in the window.  We purchased the Galle lamp for a very large amount of Yen. The shape of the mushroom top has the signature of Galle on the side.  It is very tall. No cracks.  The military always packed it very well every time we moved to a different locations.

I'm very curious of it's value now because I'm thinking of selling the lamp.
