Description:
This is an extraordinary pair of Cerulean blue French Opaline lamps that dates to c. 1950. The lamps are fitted with cast brass laurel leaf bases and the opaline glass is further embellished with gilt banding. Opaline glass was fabricated by blowing powdered lead into the molten glass; because the manufacturaing process was extremely toxic to the glass blower, this glass in no longer made and has become highly desirable. The deeply colored opaline glass, as in these lamps is an added plus when considering value. The lamps measure 21 inches to the top of the socket; a shade would add another 8 to 10 inches for a total of 29 to 31 inches in height. There is a barely visible professional restoration to the back bottom of one of the glass elements (detail photo will be added).
