This is an antique early 20th century lamp by H.E. Rainaud which was an American firm established in Meriden, Connecticut that was active from about 1916 - 1930. They specialized in floor and table lamps with ornate metal bases and glass shades. Yours has the double 'student lamp' lighting with 2 bulb arms and the shade is drum form with reverse painted curved glass panels. The broken panel will impact value and the method for 'repair' is really to have an entirely new panel created, or one salvaged from another shade. If in perfect, original condition, these sell for $2250 - $2750 on the current auction market. The estimate factors in the damaged panel and is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparables. Retail 'asking prices' can be higher and vary.
You are very welcome and my pleasure to be of help to you here.
This is about what i expected the lamp to be worth ..especially with the broken panel. I will not have it repaired since a new panel would be cost prohibitive and would not increase the value substantially. Thanks so much.
