Vintage Dual Arm Cranberry Slag Glass Parlor Lamp Gone With The Wind Style Appraisal

Vintage Dual-Arm Cranberry Slag Glass Parlor Lamp (Gone With The Wind Style)

This is a vintage Gone With The Wind (GWTW) style parlor lamp, likely dating from the mid-20th century, possibly the 1950s-1970s, or even a newer reproduction in that style. It features a dual-arm design, with two distinct light sources. The lamp is composed of brass-toned metal, variegated cranberry glass, and a finished wooden base. The central body and the two bell-shaped shades are made of a rich cranberry-colored glass, exhibiting a marbled or slag glass effect, creating a striking visual texture. The glass gradually transitions to an opaque white or opalescent fluted edge on the shades, indicating a cased glass construction, a hallmark of many Fenton pieces. Each shade has a ruffled or crimped rim, adding to its decorative appeal. The metallic components, including the central stem, the two graceful ‘s’ curve arms, and the decorative filigree base structures, appear to be brass or brass-plated, showing a warm patina consistent with age. Both the upper and lower metal bases feature ornate, possibly cast floral or scrollwork designs. The lamp is mounted on a circular wooden base with a visible grain, providing stability and a contrast to the metallic and glass elements. There are no obvious signs of significant damage like chips or cracks in the glass, and the metal shows an age-appropriate patina rather than severe corrosion. The electrical components are not fully visible, but the presence of the glass shades and metal hardware suggests it's designed for standard incandescent bulbs. The craftsmanship appears to be of good quality, typical of decorative lamps of this period, and the overall design hints at a romanticized Victorian aesthetic.
