Lots of Shades

The #822, Tiffany blue floor lamp, with gold aurene leaf and vine and gold aurene collar, became a problem, upon receipt. In earthquake country, how to secure it kept it in packing for many months. Eventually I figured out the tubular strut arrangement to secure it to the wall, as I have also done on some of my tippable table lamps.

The left sconce (shown only in lower picture) has a #2250 shade. On the right, the shade is more problematic. Though marked, it comes closest to #2494.

On the table, a #2474 shade is on the left; the one on the right may be #2475…? My sense of symmetry seeks a matched pair; my excess of shades necessitates such disparate arrangements.

No doubt about the bowl in the center, as it is clearly incised 2852.
