A small collection of antique French table top "lighthouse" lamps. These remarkably decorative antique lamps have been carefully cast, machined and finished to a high standard of detail, distinctly different in style and design. They vary greatly in design, height and in particular the profile and style of the coloured lenses and finish of their columns and tops. Each of these outstanding antique pieces dates circa 1910-1920, and has been rewired for North American use. Each casts a soft light based on the finishes ( lenses) and the choice of bulb strength.
