Jazz Band Art Deco Lamp

Unfortunately I couldn't bid as high as others on this fantastic Jazz Band Deco lamp which ultimately sold for $1,300 plus a buyers premium of 20% (+ shipping....). The leaded glass behind the band will light up as well as the two side shades which the seller classifies as being Czech made. Condition looked to be excellent for the age. We won't see another like this one, possibly ever...

Early 1930s Ivorine Alabaster Figural Lamp


These Gerdago-designed ivorine-faced dancing pixie figure lamps consistently attain prices in the low $400s and beyond. The figure was reused in several lamp configurations and two are pictured in Millman and Dwyer's "Art Deco Lighting" book. Some of these lamps also have ivorine hands, which the one above does not have. The lamp shown is currently for sale with bidding ending on August 9th. You can view the lamp's listing here. An identical lamp, pictured with the examples I am showing below, sold for $400 July 1st. Note the one with the matching bookends.
