The shop is a lot brighter, even on cloudy days like today, thanks to a growing number of lamps consigned to us. Here are a few for your consideration. At left is a fairly rare Aynsley Pembroke Fine China table lamp made in England. The Pembroke pattern was Aynsley's most popular pattern in their dinnerware. These lamps are out of production and quite hard to find. A quick web search turned up a few...but they were all in Europe. According to the consignor, this lamp (and the one at the right) are about 30 years old. The lamp at right is also an Aynsley Pembroke, but is slightly larger, with a different base.
The two lamps at left are also from Europe and date back to the 1950s. Both are made of brass, and should polish up nicely. The red shades exhibit some wear considering their age. These two will need to have the plugs replaced as the original European plugs are still attached.
Cute little table top lamp with a stained glass shade and a candleabra bulb gives off a wonderful array of colors when lit. Despite its delicate appearance, this lamp has a heavy, solid metal base.
Pictured to the left is one of a pair of Oriental style jar lamps. These tall table lamps feature an ivory color body with a raised pattern of delicate flowers. They are supported by a gold metal base. At first glance, they appear to be Lenox, but we were not able to determine the maker.
Finally, we have this adorable, vintage ceramic girl lamp. Standing only about 15 inches tall, this cutie will brighten any little girl's room.

I have 2 Pembroke lamps like the one on the left. They were a gift from my mother 31 years ago. They have the original shades and are in good condition. What would they be worth today?
