Antique Table Lamp w. Reverse Painted Glass Shade Signed Moe Bridges Co. # 172 Art Deco Style. Beautiful reverse-painted antique table lamp with hand-painted lake landscape scenes. This Moe Bridges Lamp Co. Lamp from the 1920s has a one-piece, thick, frosted glass shade with a texture similar to canvas fabric on the outside and a smooth, hand-painted interior. Its rewired Art Deco lamp base has the original finish, with light wear and tear and pitted paint spots over the years but still looks lovely. The two working pull chains light up this elegant, pretty lamp at night and are a delight to see during the evening. It is a welcome piece of art to proudly display in any home, regardless of decor style, whether vintage or modern. You won’t be disappointed with its beauty! Henrik and Ole Moe founded the Moe Bridges Company in 1919 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The company specialized in reverse-painted lamps, which were a popular decorative lighting choice in the 1920s. However, the Great Depression led to a decline in the market for these lamps, making them less accessible to the general public. Today, the company is still based in Milwaukee and continues to produce high-quality lighting fixtures. The Moe-Bridges Company’s history is marked by its innovative Art Deco designs and the quality of its products, which are now sought after by collectors and enthusiasts alike.

Brian was beyond amazing, answering questions, assisting with the ordering process (way after normal work hours) and following through right until the chairs arrived. The kindness and caring we experienced are rivaled only by the beauty of the four chairs we received. Thank you for being a consummate professional and all’round good guy!
