Masterpiece Antique c. 1910s-1920s Slag Glass Boudoir Lamp - Cherub & Garland Motif
Exceptional Heirloom-Quality / 100% Intact Caramel Amber Slag Glass
Up for your consideration is a truly magnificent, museum-quality American antique slag glass boudoir table lamp from the Golden Age of lighting (circa 1910s-1920s). Showcasing the pinnacle of Art Nouveau and Neo-Classical transition design, this breathtaking statement piece features heavy cast metal overlay work attributed to the finest Newark/New England makers of the era (such as AMW Co. / Bradley & Hubbard style).
The Ultimate Collector's Details
Rare Cherub/Cupid Iconography: Each of the 4 panels features a stunningly detailed, raised-relief oval cartouche depicting a classical Cherub/Putto embraced by cascading floral garlands, ribbons, and drapes. A highly sought-after motif that rarely appears in this small, refined boudoir size.
Flawless Caramel Slag Glass: Four premium, deep caramel/amber marbleized slag glass panels. When illuminated, they diffuse an incredibly rich, warm, fireside glow, showcasing the natural, unrepeatable swirls of early 20th-century glassmaking.
The shade glass is held securely by its original historical metal fold-over tabs (NO modern glues, NO modern welds).
The "Holy Grail" Original Socket: Retains its genuine early 20th-century heavy brass shell socket with the iconic paddle/push switch, stamped with historical 250V 660W specifications (Cutler-Hammer/Bryant era).
