Shedding some light on vintage bent-glass panel lamp
|
Q. This lamp (photo enclosed) is approximately 120 years old, but
we are not sure what kind it is. Is it valuable?
A. Right off the bat, we need to say that this lamp is no-where

The first clue that it was not made in the 1880s is that it is an
electric lamp. It is true that Edison invented the first incandescent

electricity for lighting purposes was up and running in 1881-82. But
this kind of lamp was simply not available at that time.
