Here is a spectacular pair of late 19th-century emerald-green glass lusters, thoughtfully converted into dramatic table lamps. The richly colored glass features scalloped rims and elaborate hand-painted decoration throughout, with colorful floral medallions, delicate floral motifs and scrolling gold ornament extending around the bodies and bases. Cascades of long, statement, faceted crystal prisms surround each luster, adding wonderful sparkle and movement.
Each antique luster rests on an ornate two-tiered gilt-brass base with pierced and embossed detailing. Wonderful sculptural gilt-brass finials crown each lamp and are one of my favorite details, giving the pair an especially beautiful finishing touch.
The later lamp conversions bring the pair to an impressive 34" overall height. Each lamp is fitted with two standard-bulb sockets with independent pull chains, allowing either one or both bulbs to be used. Both lamps are in excellent working order.
Beautifully proportioned and wonderfully unusual, these make fabulous statement lamps for a console, sideboard or pair of large bedside tables. Each measures approximately 8.5"W × 8.5"D × 34"H overall.

Very good antique condition with age-appropriate wear. There is some light rubbing and loss to the hand-painted decoration, primarily near the bases, along with minor patina to the gilt-brass elements. Two to three of the crystal prisms have very small chips, and one pair of prisms has been reattached with replacement wire. The lamps are in excellent working order, with both sockets and independent pull chains functioning properly.
