Re: Vintage victorian cut glass/crystal and brass lamp
Thanks so much. I have looked at the auction site and it has been very helpful. I have still not come across a lamp shade shaped liked this one or can say who it was made by. I still need more information in order to be able to know what it's worth.
Re: Vintage victorian cut glass/crystal and brass lamp
Check for a mark etched into the glass shade or base, If it's unmarked it's not by any of the big name makers and would sell in the same range as the ones in the link. Crystal lamps are not a hot seller these days,
