Organ Lamp
Have you ever heard of an organ lamp? I had not. This was originally a kerosene lamp, but has been updated to electric. The age is probably late 1800's. Amazing piece, if you ask me. I'm on the lookout for a globe, but, it stands alone quite nicely.

That's a great piece!
ReplyDeleteWhat a strange creature. Totally functional though, even in its transformation.
ReplyDeleteI have never seen or heard of an organ lamp. Is it a decorative globe that would go on it? I like how ornate the iron is. Sweet find!

Gale, I have been researching it from the moment I got it. Most globes I have seen are of a Victorian nature. Painted on with flowers or courting scenarios. The brand is Rochester if you'd like to google around and see what there is to see. They seem quite rare from what I can tell. ~Mindy
ReplyDeleteThat is the most unusual lamp I have ever seen. I looked up organ lamp and found some great examples with beautiful etched globes. Looks like you've found yourself a gem!

I did an online search also, because I didn't know if I had seen one before,but I have in some really high-end antique stores. They are an incredible find!
ReplyDeleteNow, I'm thinking black with cobwebs and que the scary haunted house organ music with a hunchback at the keyboard.
