Beautiful Pair of Antique Early 20th Century Electrified Luster Bo***ir Lamps

This listing is for a lovely, fully matching pair of early 20th-century electrified manual luster bo***ir accent lamps. These elegant decorative pieces combine classic clear pressed glass bases with beautiful hanging glass prisms and highly detailed blown-out frosted shades to provide a soft, timeless glow.

* **Hanging Prisms**: Full sets of multi-faceted authentic glass teardrop spear prisms hanging from octagonal glass buttons around the upper ring.

* **Shade Style**: Blown-out bell-shaped frosted glass shades featuring an embossed grapevine, leaf, and fruit cluster motif, finished with a delicate scalloped upper rim.

* **Base Styling**: Heavy clear pressed glass column pedestal with a distinctive stepped, thumbprint-bordered square plinth.

Condition & Restoration Note:

These antique lamps are in excellent, well-preserved structural condition and are ready for immediate display.

* **Glass & Shades**: Both clear pressed glass bases and both frosted grape-motif shades are clean and fully intact. There are no major chips, cracks, or structural breaks on the pedestals or the delicate scalloped rims.

* **Glass Prisms**: The hanging glass dangles are complete, bright, securely attached, and full of vintage sparkle. Please note that missing or broken crystals have been meticulously replaced using matching authentic glass replacement crystals imported directly from Czechoslovakia to restore the pair to their full historical appearance.

* **Metalwork**: The original metal shade fitters, sockets, and interior central rods show minor surface oxidation and a darkened antique patina consistent with authentic early 20th-century lighting components.

* **Wiring**: Cords and standard wall plugs are intact and lamps function normally. (Please review all detailed close-up photos to verify exact physical condition).

Antique Heywood Brothers & Wakefield Company Wicker Floor-Standing Sewing Basket Stand

This is an exceptional find! The paper label on the wooden underside explicitly reads:"HEYWOOD BROTHERS AND WAKEFIELD COMPANY"This confirms the historical attribution of this Victorian wicker sewing stand.
Historical Dating
The Production Era: This exact corporate name—Heywood Brothers & Wakefield Company—was created in 1897 when two major Massachusetts furniture giants (Heywood Brothers, est. 1826, and Wakefield Rattan Company, est. 1855) merged.
Narrowing the Window: The company shortened and simplified its name to "Heywood-Wakefield Co." in 1921. Furthermore, the distinctive style of this amber-colored rectangle paper manufacturer's label was exclusively utilized by the firm from 1897 to 1921. This places the production of this wicker stand precisely between those years, making it roughly 105 to 129 years old.
Notable Markings
The Handwritten Number: The blue grease pencil or ink notation across the center reads No. 1042 (or potentially 1072), which represents the factory design model/style pattern number for this specific two-tier sewing basket template.
The Script Background: The elegant cursive graphite handwriting underneath the paper tag (visible as "Ltd" and sweeping loops) likely points to original shipping, inventory, or retailer transit notes written on the bare wood before the label was glued down at the factory warehouse.An intact, legible paper label from this transition era drastically enhances the historical value, serving as a certified stamp of authenticity.
