$225 USDWall Mounted Electrified Oil Lamp with Ruby Hobnail Shade
Collectibles:Lamps, Lighting
I found this wonderful old oil lamp at a local estate sale and even got to take if off the wall. The paint on the metal (cast iron?) was chipped badly so I repainted it. The fenton shade still has the sticker on it and sells for $175 by itself. It is a ruby hobnail shade and is in excellent condition. There was no chimney with this lamp but it would look better to add one. It has been electrified and works well. The maximum distance from the wall is 13". It fits into a wall bracket which allows ...

While cleaning the pair I found a couple of chips on one of the bobeches and on the ribbed edge of the candle holder.

I took a picture of the damage but it is hard to detect due to the luster on this bowl.

The cut glass bowl is in good condition but has 2 flakes off the rim area(see photo). There are 24 crystal drops/prisms around the outside edge of the bowl.

$375 USDElegant Horse's Head Sculpture with Aquatic Touch, Signed
Fine Art:Ceramics
This sculpture really spoke to me when I saw it at a beach front estate sale. It was sitting on a pedestal in front of a very large glass wall over looking the ocean.

The sculpture is plaster material which has been painted a deep green. The Horse's mane is displayed as sea shells. Overall height is 16", The artist signature is hard to read ...
