Cordey lamp set

Profile picture for user tucknroll
By tucknroll, 24 October, 2009
Description

both boy and girl have bare feet, possibly paupers or peasants. Girl has lace around bottom of dress with some lace borken off unless it is supposed to be that way due to the social class of girl. She has six roses in her hair and is carrying a water jug on her shoulder using one hand and her other hand is holding a bunch of roses as well as a blanket of sorts that wraps around her waist.

Boy has jacket with lace around the cuffs with some lace possibly broken. He is carrying a basket of bread or food on his shoulder with one hand and is leaning against a stump that has a three large leaves on it. One leaf has a broken tip.

The brass base has been cleaned at some point and has white cleaning cream smeared on bottom felt.

There are stickers on the bottom felt that have the name Cordey.

The lamp shades appear to be original whith out smells or tears. they have a beautiful border around the top and bottom. the finials on top of the shades look like something small may have broken off them and at one point an attempt to solder or weld the broken piece may have been made. Finials work for there purpose.

Cords are in great shape, however, cord heads are different and do not match the other.

Any broken pieces are so hard to spot that I didn't see them until I got home and started researching the items.

I'm tempted to clean them up but I will hold off and let a professional do the job.

They are very striking to say the least.

Re: Cordey lamp set

We have a set of the same..Well,not exactly as we have found that Cordey did most of his pieces by hand and probably a different employee...Anyone have an idea of the value??? We have gotten various. Between $120. each to $300. per set. Any info would help. Thanks
