Victorian Style Gone with the Wind Banquet Lamp

This is a multifaceted Victorian style banquet lamp, often referred to as a 'Gone with the Wind' lamp. The piece features a striking ruby red glass font and base section, which is hand-painted with a vibrant floral motif consisting of pink, white, and purple blooms with green foliage. The lamp is structurally supported by ornate, cast-metal hardware with a darkened brass or bronze-toned patina, including decorative handles and an embossed circular base. The upper portion consists of a large, frosted glass hurricane shade with etched fleur-de-lis or floral patterns and a ruffled or scalloped top edge. Inside the shade, a clear glass chimney extends upwards. Judging by the visible power cord, this appears to be an electric conversion or a mid-20th-century reproduction of a late 19th-century oil lamp design. Condition appears good with no significant cracks visible, though there is a natural aging of the metallic components contributing to a deep patina. The craftsmanship is high, evidenced by the multi-layered glass construction and detailed casting of the metal frame.
