Hi Megan,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.

This is a lovely Art Nouveau style slag or leaded glass table lamp with bronze base that dates to probably the mid 20th Century.

Louis Comfort Tiffany created bronze lamps with colorful shades similar to this; they were so popular that the form has become somewhat ubiquitously been called "Tiffany" after the original lamps made by LC Tiffany or Tiffany Studios (but much less valuable than original Tiffany lamps!).

A few things stand out to me as being notably unusual: the beaded rim around the lower rim of the shade, the base with three tall legs, and the beaded trim to the bottom. These elements are not found in the early 20th Century when Tiffany lamps were made and I suspect this is a mid 20th Century creation. I've not been able to find shades or bases with similar elements, making this somewhat singular lamp.

Other bronze lamps of similar vintage with stained/slag/leaded glass shades of similar size and geometric rose-design shade have been selling at auction lately for between $400 and $800. Because collectors are sometimes hesitant to collect things that are anomalies to more common forms, that will I think limit the appeal of this lamp, which I would expect to bring between $200and $400 at auction.

If you're looking to sell this lamp privately, I would recommend starting at$600, which will price this competitively with others being retailed and eliminate the risk of underselling it. If you don't get takers, you can reduce your asking price.

Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:
