Pittsburgh Lamp of 1910 with Reverse painted Shade

'This  is  a very pretty Pittsburgh table lamp with a reverse painted geometric shade.  The lamp measures 19 inches or 48 cm high.  The shade has a diameter of 14 inches or 36 cm in diameter.
The metal base is fluted.  It has a  gold patina.   The shade is reverse painted with geometric Art Nouveau designs.  The shade has the Pittsburgh lamp company "chipped ice" finish.
This is one of the Pittsburgh Lamp Company's most desirable reverse painted lamps.  The Pittsburgh Lamp Co. was established in 1901.   This lamp dates to about 1910. 
The lamp is in excellent original condition.  The lamp maintains all of its original hardware.  The lamp has been rewired with silk cord for safety. Both sockets work and it is ready for your home or shop. '
