Napoleon Bust Bronze Toned Metal Lamp - Very Nice - c. 1920 - 30
A really great lamp in the form of a bust of Napoleon in a bronze toned metal & in very good condition.
The lamp measures 13 1/4" tall to the top of the bulb socket. It's base is 3 1/2" by 3 1/4" & Napoleon measures 5 1/2" across his shoulders. There are no dents, scratches or cracks.
The lamp dates no later than c. 1920 - 1930's. It appears to have been re-wired c. 1950's because of the type of cord & plug used. The base is covered with worn brown felt. It works well & we decided we would not re-wire with 1920's type wiring.
Napoleon is in full military dress regalia with epaulets & medals as he is often presented in paintings. This is a wonderful piece for the Napoleon collector & very rare. Thank you for stopping by The Treasure Chest.(Item ID:C-19)

Vintage Rare St. Clair 1950-60 Paperweight Lamp
This is a fabulous c.1950-60 paperweight lamp by one of two mid-west glass artists. As collectors know, these lamps are rare & a joy to own. My photos do no do it justice.
The lamp measures 28 5/8" tall to the top of the clear crystal finial. The predominant colors are yellow lilies with pale green leaves/greenery.
This was sold to me at an estate sale as St. Clair & I saw a lamp in plain white lilies just like this recently & the person said it was St. Clair. I referenced my book: American Glass Paperweights & Their Makers,revised edition, pages 248 & 249. These are very similar. I have owned two sets of St. Clair lamps over the years & this lamp has more finishing touches than those. It is a beauty!The lamp has it's original wiring in good condition with a 3-way light switch.
The crystal base & two crystal additions are cut & polished. The base measures 5 1/4" square.
The lamp is in mint condition, with no chips, scratches or cracks. It would make an excellent addition to any home & glass collection.
There is no shade, but on the previous paperweight lamps I owned I bought shades & added some touches to personalize the shades to the lamps. Thank you for visiting The Treasure Chest. (Item ID:FF-010)

Antique Figural Stem 19th Century Oil Lamp - Girl - Mouse - Cat
This intriguing figural bronze stem on marble base oil lamp is shown in Thuro Book II on page 54.
The exception is the font. It is illustrated in the composite section which dates c.1860-1880. There is speculation that some of the glass fonts were imported. This font has lovely cut flowers & leaves as a design.
The figure is that of an impish, very properly dressed, young girl holding a mouse in one hand, seemingly teasing a cat she holds by the tail with her other hand. Cat lovers take notice.
This lamp has the desirable Queen Anne burner & appropriate chimney, & base w/burner is 13" tall but measures 22" w/the chimney.
This is a real conversation piece for the collector or person needing a fully functional oil lamp. Thank you for visiting The Treasure Chest.
