Pair of Table Lamps
Brass or Bronze with Ribbed Glass Globe (blue with clear bubbles outlined in gold / varying size). 32.75-inches to top of finial. Glass globe ~ 6-inches in diameter. Top of lamp includes recreation of kerosene lamp flame control key.
Lamp dealer (mainly contemporary pieces) but had very few 'vintage' pieces the owner (died unexpectedly) acquired over the years. The establishment (children of the deceased) was conducting a going out of business sale. We found the lamp pair highly unique (and of potential value - above the stated price).

My apologies, Agostino. I mis-understood your description; I've removed all mention of kerosene from my description. Let me know if this makes sense based on what you can tell with the lamps in front of you.

I’m a bit confused with the findings (or the way the findings description reads.) The lamps may replicate brass-style kerosene but they are NOT kerosene ‘powered’. They are original ‘electrical’ powered lamps - not even conversions from kerosene. I thought the pictures conveyed this clearly, possibly not. I can add additional angles, if needed.
