Slag Glass Frame Repair by R. Jerome
1909 Lamp Ornate Lamp Art Nouveau Lamp Cottage on the Lake Lamp Brass Lamp
Brass Slag Glass Table Lamp
This brass lamp was brought to Bob with 2 frame support wires missing. The weight of the glass broke the center cap out of the frame.
Bob had to grind out all of the loose and weak material.
The cap was soldered back into place from the inside, and reinforced so it would not push out again. This was all carefully done so that the lamp will sit level.
Two wires were fabricated and shaped, then soldered into the frame.
Petina was added to all the repairs so that they could not be detected. The finial pictured to the right was too big for the shade, so a smaller more appropriate one was added with the client's approval.
