These reproduction lamps were made recently for a custom order. They are carefully cut, assembled, and finally soldered. There are amber mica inserts secured under the shade which is riveted in place on to the lamp. An oil lamp vial insert is used to produce the light. This design obviously shows a Frank Lloyd Wright influence. It is not orginal to the time of the Inn's construction, but is old enough that the maker is no longer around. Cost for the construction of one of these lamps un-patinated is currently $850
I've being researching about lamps because I need to buy one, and I've found your post very helpful :) . I thought I would leave my first comment. I don't know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog!
