Antique Lanp
The lamp belonged to my father in law. He liked antiques and bought a few during his life. I don’t know the history of the lamp. I’m 71 and I know he had it as long as I knew him which was over 50 years. He never mentioned much about it to my wife before her death. It is in excellent condition.
It’s about 28” tall. The pedestal is about 9” in diameter and the shade is about 19” in diameter.

Hi Glenn,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
This lamp bears similarities to those made by Bradley & Hubbard, a renowned American manufacturer founded in 1852 that produced high-quality lamps celebrated for their intricate designs and craftsmanship. Known for their brass and ironwork, Bradley & Hubbard lamps featured ornate detailing, hand-painted finishes, and durable construction. Popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, these lamps ranged from oil and gas to electric varieties, often incorporating art glass shades.
SIGNED lamps of this form typically sell for between $300-500 (sometimes more depending on the complexity of the shades and/or bases) while those that are not signed usually selling for between $200-300.
Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:

Thanks, Glenn, for getting back to me on the lack of marks. I've finished this appraisal; unless you've got questions or concerns, you should be all set.
Thanks again for using Mearto,
Delia
I have examined the underside of both the shade and the base of the lamp pedestal. I did not find any markings, symbols, or numbers anywhere on the lamp.
