OPULENT ROCOCO STYLE ANTIQUE BRASS SWEET CHERUB BEJEWLED LAMP
In a word - Extraordinary.. This breathtaking one of a kind vintage brass cherub lamp is designed in opulent Rococo style, with its very heavy pressed glass globe* in a diamond pattern that presents itself to appear like a pineapple with its sculpted Rococo style leaf shaped bobeche.
In British Colonial times, the pineapple was a sign of "Welcome" and this lamp, found in one of Debbie's antique shopping trips, is in such beautiful condition and so lovingly taken care of, that there is no aged patina - only polished brass showing this piece was a WELCOMED addition, lovingly cared for in its former home. Can't you just see it there in the Parlor or in the Grand Entry Foyer? What an opulent piece!!
You may select either antique diamond cut glass prisms with porcelain roses or clear pink hanging crystals for the bobeche. Please selct in the options area.
*The beautiful heavy pressed glass globe is actually known as the rose and diamond pattern - look closely to see the embedded roses for a touch of romantic elegance.
* We at Victoria Rose Cottage believe in full disclosure. The glass on this beautiful vintage lamp has a tiny chip along the edge of the glass. One would hardly notice it because of the heavily cut design but we want you to know each and every detail of this opulent find.

ABOUT THE ARTIST'S PRICING
There are several things that must be considered when our artist or designer prices these items and presents them to us to showcase.
Of course there is the time consideration and how long an item actually takes her to complete. Debbie is a true designer and before she applies one jewel she needs inspiration to get a design concept. Unlike others who may just "slap a few jewels sparodically" she plans each piece and carefully selects the jewels to meet her goals as well as design items that are unique and elegant and awe-inspiring.
Also to be considered is the raw materials - whether she is using mostly vintage or antique elements or ones that are new made to look vintage. Then, of course are the colors as certain colors of rhinestones and other vintage stones are highly collectible and very hard to find. . such as the color pink - very much a sought after in the romantic Cottage Style or Paris Apartment Style or Elegant & Opulent Victorian home and hard to find. When she does find these pieces, she is very careful to select only the finest, preferring vintage or antique over the newer pieces {they sparkle so much more and add such character} thus also raising the price of her finished original one of a kind heirloom treasure. Recently, she has noticed the price of an antique brooch in hard to find pink being three times what the same jewel cost when she first started designing her art form.
The same with the color and elements of the actual piece she is using as the main element such as an antique frame, clock, perfume bottle, etc. She has been known to travel quite the distance just to find a particular item that she feels inspired to design and offer to you. Also she keeps a list of any items that sold that disappointed her faithful clients when they saw them SOLD and they were perhaps on their wish list. She will always try to find similar items on her buyng trips but it does get expensive when she begins her "treasure hunt" and finds out that market conditions have increased prices since she last purchased a similar item. For example, a rare green bottle would be priced much higher than a clear one and so on.
One thing for sure - this designer does not compromise by limiting the distance she has to travel, the price she has to pay or the quality of items she designs especially for you.
