Original Frankart F604 Dual Figural Lamp

This one will garner some big bucks. In apparently original paint, this dual figural Frankart lamp is clearly marked with the manufacturer and model number - F604. It has it's original cord and possibly an original or early bulb from what I can see in the picture. There are marks and chips here and there but nothing that I can see that detracts. This lamp has the original shade.

Bidding is currently nearly $700 and I expect this to climb above the 4-figure mark before it ends on May 18th. To bid or just to peruse the listing details and other photos, you can go here.

Dual Peacock Art Deco Figural Lamp

The sale of the glass beaded shade lamp went well and I experienced a first - shipping a package to Saudi Arabia. I had originally specified that the auction would only be applicable in the U.S. but by answering to the affirmative to a polite bidder requesting permission to bid from abroad, the sale exceeded my expectations by increasing the competition. For small items, from now on, I don't see any reason not to sell worldwide.

Very shortly I will be putting up this dual peacock figural lamp up for sale on Ebay. It's currently available in the shop, but I am trying to circulate the inventory, so this lamp will be going next.

This lamp has a striking profile with the two birds' tails joining together and forming an arc over the top of the brain glass shade. It is in impeccable condition.

Figural Art Deco Lamp With Czech Glass Flower and Bead Shade

You're getting a preview of a lamp that I'm about to put on sale on Ebay. The link to see the listing will not be valid until Thursday at 3:30 PST, so check back then if you are interested.

This lamp is truly a special one, primarily due to it's special shade and excellent overall condition. It sports hand-wired glass flowers, leaves, and beads attached to a copper shade frame. It is signed/stamped 1930 A.B. & Co. and is in excellent condition. It may even have the original bulb, though I cannot confirm it - it just looks very old.

Here's a list of the flowers that adorn the shade:

• 3 Blue tulips each with 3 green sepals/leaves
• 1 Yellow tulip with green sepals/leaves
• Small clear/white flowers with green beads
• Small red and vanilla flowers with blue beads
• Small iridescent blue green flowers with red beads
• Small orange flowers with red beads
• Small clear blue flowers with orange beads
• Small iridescent yellow flowers with green beads
• Small red roses
• Small red grapes with green beads
• Green leaves
• 1 Large orange flower with green beads
• 1 Small deep blue flower with orange bead

Bidding will start Thursday the 10th and continue until Sunday January 20th.

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.

Art Nouveau Millefiori Lamp

Although this blog's purpose is to profile Art Deco lamps, I'm particularly enamored with this Art Nouveau lamp with it's original millefiori shade. The woman is semi-nude holding a harp and is 16" tall and 7" wide. Bidding ends on July 30th so this is a 10 day auction. More details available here.

Art Deco Lamp Base - Two Nudes

Up for auction is a lamp base featuring two nude female figures. Though there is no wiring and no shade it is currently bid up to $374. I believe it is Nuart or maybe Frankart but I have not found a comparable lamp to say for sure. More details here.

French 1930s "Winged Lady" Deco Lamp

Up for auction is a "Winged Lady" Art Deco lamp marked "France" with no further signature. The base illuminates and is primarily marble. The body is a cast material that the seller has not definitively identified. It is being sold from Mannheim Germany and already has a healthy bid of $510 four days before the May 28th close date of the auction. If anyone is familiar with the maker, let us all know. More pictures and details here.

Nude Figure Art Deco Lamp

The above pictured lamp is up for sale until bidding ends on May 9th. I find the overall aesthetic of the lamp to be very pleasing and the fixture section of the lamp is made of brass. There has been a minor amount of in-painting but overall the original paint seems intact. It appears to be an original shade or period shade, at least. Bidding stands at $27 but I plan to participate if it stays there... More detail and pictures can be seen here.

Bronze Muller Freres Art Deco Lamp ca. 1920

Beautiful French bronze Art Deco lamp of a heron looking for a worm in Virginia creeper. This lamp is being sold from France so the shipping may be a bit higher than purchasing in U.S. but if you like the lamp as I do, it won't matter. Bidding starts at $950 and ends on April 18th.

Marcel Bouraine Harlequin Bronze Ivory Lamp

Normally I will blog about Art Deco lamps which are available in the average collectors price range but why not kick off the blog with a $40,000 bronze Marcel Bouraine Art Deco lamp? Apparently another lamp by Bouraine just sold at Sotheby's for $78,000. The particular lamp is very detailed and the colors/patina are still well intact. It appears the glass "shades" are still intact as well. You can read more about the lamp and see additional pictures at the auction listing.
