Last week I was very good and stayed true to my goal--I didn't buy any furniture, wasn't even tempted by a single chair. But I did buy these amazing floor lamps
I believe the lamps date to the late 1960's, perhaps late 1970's. They are hand wrought French gilt iron of Easter Lily form. If the gilt iron detailing, gorgeous tripod foot and great condition and rarity weren't enough bells and whistles==LOOK AT THE SHADES!!
If I were to replace these shades, each one would cost over $200.00.
So I'm going to auction aiming for a couple of hits and am going without any preconceived limitations (other than the final tally for the day).
Jones says "hi"--we are both loving the change in temperature...today will be a true Fall day with temps in the 70's (mink coat time). I am so grateful.
Have a wonderful Thursday.

Hi Karena,
DeleteYes, I know--I'm so glad that I can't take them home (too many beasties) as they would never find their way back to the shop.

Mary, the lamps are amazing! I love the shape of them, delicate and refined...

Hi Liz,
DeleteThank you so much! I though that they were Italian when I bought them, but they are soooooo much better. Thank you for brightening my days with your still life posts.
