Loetz Cobalt Papillon Double Light Lamp ca 1915

This is a lamp that has a Loetz Cobalt Papillon glass center section. The base is a heavy pot metal while the rest is brass / bronze. We have had the item rewired with period silk wrap twisted cord and the Circle-F fatboy sockets were mechanically rebuilt to keep them as original as possible. A period looking plug was used in the rewire. The sockets date to 1916 at the latest and we presume the glass to be late period papillon so the item likely dates to ca. Overall the lamp stands 25-1/2" tall (64.8 cm) and the base measures 6-1/4" (15.9 cm) square. The glass portion is approximately 6-1/2" (16.5 cm) tall and 3-1/2" (8.9 cm) in diameter at its widest. The glass finish shows some lighter areas as pictured in photos 7 & 8.

We were informed that this is sometimes seen in papillion, especially in later period wares, but it was a first for us. The glass is in excellent condition without blemish and the rest is in good working order and overall good condition as photographed.

The bottom of the base is stamped "1866", likely a form number, and is otherwise unmarked. Photos 3-6 show the glass as it was rotated.

We pack very well (check our feedback) and we can't get those darn packing peanut or bubble wrap trees to produce anything for us. We insure all items that we sell. Please be familiar with the laws of your country. If this item is old, vintage, or collectible glass, pottery, or porcelain it is to be considered used unless we state that it is new. If it is glass and it was handmade, and/or made prior to 1960, please be aware that as such, it may or may not contain things such as debris, grit, carbon flecks, bubbles, and straw marks, alone or in combination.

These are not defects and can be expected. This how pieces were delivered from the factory and to collectors they are unremarkable, especially in hand blown items. We will not note any of these unless they are present to an unusual degree. We strive to describe what we sell completely and honestly and will always to the best of our ability disclose any non-factory flaw that we detect such as chips, flea bites, cracks, hairlines, scratches, staining, or repairs.
