For your consideration is this Warren Kessler brass bouilotte lamp with original tolle shade. Warren Kessler built a large lamp factory in New York City in 1939. The Kessler company produced lamps until the 1980s. In the company's heyday, it provided lighting for all the American Embassies and were included in the remodeling of the Truman White House. A Kessler lamp would sell for for $300 circa 1960--that's over $2500, adjusted for inflation! This beautiful brass lamp is known as a bouilotte lamp. These lamps consist of 1 or more candlesticks with a central standard light and a non-flammable tolle shade. This brass lamp has three brass, winged cherub candlesticks over a basket weave base; it has a 2 light standard, tolle peinte shade and tall decorative finial; the lamp is marked, "Warren Kessler/ New York". The tolle peinte shade is a reflective white on the inside and olive green on the outside. The lamp is in very good complete condition and is believed to work. It measures 31"T x 6 1/2" base and has a 16 1/2" shade.
