Antique Josef Riedel Bohemian Etched Art Glass & Brass Lamp

$1,450.00

Offered is this Antique Josef Riedel Art Nouveau Lamp. It features a Acide Cut Back glass shade in green and pink, with ruby colored glass centers in the flowers. There is also some gilding around the edges of the flower petals. The base is tall with a pull chain down the middle, which operates the standard Edison base socket.

While this lamp is a rarity, you can find Josef Riedel vases with the same overlay pattern (opposite the flowered sides).

The lamp came to us without a socket, so an old one was used, that would work well and have a functional pull chain switch. Has been completely rewired with a brown cloth covered cord-set. The red on the top of each of the three feet did not want to come off. It appears the previous owner may have used candles in those spots, but it's just a hunch. The washer/felt spacers under the top of the shade are replacements, which is not uncommon for a lamp of this age.

Measures:
17-1/2"H
The shade is 8"W x 7"H
