Pittsburgh Killarney Table Lamp

2,375

This is truly a great lamp made in the 1920's with the desirable chipped ice reverse hand-painted shade featuring the lakes of Killarney with vibrant purple colors and bronze base with fine old patina. All in excellent condition with no chips or cracks. The lamp is 20" high and the shade is 16" in diameter. Has been rewired for safety and is properly signed. The interplay between the colors is extremely pleasing to the eye. Here is a chance to own an American made important piece of functional lighting the Pittsburgh "Killarney" has consistently fetched in the $3,000 range. Mine is priced low to sell. A practical and beautiful and great investment. The Pittsburgh "Pilabrasgo" company was started by Nicholas Kopp in 1900, a chemist known for his knowledge and ability to hand mold and color beautiful lamps that were very popular until 1926, when the company bankrupted. Now the upper end Pittsburgh lamps are popular and command high prices. Brings joy to the home every day of the year.
