Description
Both Lampsare in excellent condition-near mint! They stand on a square brass base which features an Art Nouveau style design. The porcelain is reticulated and on one side depicts 3 cherubs, while on the other, Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Both have gilded handlesat the top as well as the original Benrose labels affixed to them. Both have their original lampshades, which have suffered damage on the inside (a few rips not noticeable on the outside). The electrical cords are made of what appears to be a braided nylon type material. They may be marked under the felt which covers the bottom of both of their bases, We have not removed the felt, wanting to leave the lamps in their original state. (They appear to be Capo di Monte)
What are these worth?-YES, they are FOR SALE!
