Cherub Swan Table Lamp - 1950s period

By StrayCatFarm, 18 January, 2011
Description

I grew up with these lamps in our living room.  They sat on marble topped end tables.  My parents passed on, and I want these lamps to have a good home.  I have no idea of the original cost, but they are in pretty good condition.  One lamp suffered a crack on the swan's wing, but it was nicely reattached and the crack is not noticeable from the front (and completely unnoticeable if positioned on the table properly.)  On the other lamp, the cherub's toes are sheared off, but that too isn't very noticeable due to the intricacy of the piece and the small size of the toes. 

Sadly, there are few marks on the bottom.  There's a number, along with the words, "Made Italy".  There is a mark that resembles an inverted music symbol but I couldn't find it online.
