Pittsburgh Reverse Painted Brass/Bronze Lamp
Shade: 20.5” across with 8 separate reverse painted panels. Base: 25.5” with shade on. The base is either brass or bronze. Original pulls and light bulb housing. Original electric cord as well. It is actually unmarked but has the same base and metal work as another Pittsburgh Glass Company lamp I saw on an auction site.
My husband received this from his aunt who obtained it from her parents when they lived in Erie, PA or Pittsburgh, PA. The family has lived in that part of Pennsylvania since the early 1900s. It has never been exhibited as far as I know.
