Description
This antique table lamp fixture has been sitting on the mantle of our family owned funeral home business for as long as anyone - including my grandparents can remember...We are looking for information on it to see what it is worth and possibly what artist made it. The only identifying marks on it are located on the bottom and they read "Bologna, Italy" and there is something that looks like a crest painted on it and below it in a banner it reads, "Salve."
Re: Italian Oriental Style Table Lamp
I called my grandmother and she was able to get a hold of a distant family member - according to him this piece was purchased at the Gable's Department Store (similar to our Macy's now) in Altoona, PA - which sold the "finer" things here at the time. This department store was established in 1884. This may give us an idea of a timeline?
