Re: Capo-Di-Monte Antique Lamp
We regret to inform you that your lamp is a 20th century piece, there were not electric lamps in 1830 ;~) Anything stamped with a country of origin mark such as "Made In Italy" generally post dates the early 1920's, most like this example tend to date after World War Two.
