1920 IP Frink Bankers Lamp
21 March 2025
Description

The lamp is is in excellent condition. I had it rewired several years ago and was told it was a very valuable IP Frink bronze lamp. There are many IP Frink banker lamps made for bank lobby's and affixed to tables that I see go at auction for $3,000-$5000. This one is unique in that it has two inkwells, a pen well and, most notably, the top of the lamp is intricately engraved with leaves and flowers. I have been unable to find another one of its kind. IP Frink did make custom lamps and I'm told this lamp was likely custom made for a bank executive. I'd like to find out its value and will consider selling it if the price is right.

The specialist needs more information

Hi Marilyn,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.

Is this lamp signed?

I've done a fairly comprehensive search of recent auctions using a number of databases we have proprietary access to and I am not finding any similar lamps - by Frink or other makers - selling for nearly as much as $3,000-5,000. Are you able to share the links to the websites where you saw those prices so I can verify the accuracy of that value?

Thnaks,
Delia
