Meissen-Style Lamps
I have two lamps that look to be Meissen in style. I can't see any markings on the lamps because the bases are covered by the lamp base.
These lamps came from my mother's home in Houston Texas. She was born in 1932 into a wealthy banking family. Her bedroom where these would have been used was decorated in a French antique style.
