Use a free lamp appraisal app to identify old lamps, maker, material, wiring, shade, condition, and market evidence.
Auction records are market evidence, not a final appraisal. Condition, authenticity, provenance, size, material, completeness, restoration, and demand can materially change value.
Quick checklist
- Photograph the full item, marks, maker labels, measurements, materials, construction, backs, undersides, interiors, and accessories.
- Document condition before cleaning: fading, tears, stains, losses, cracks, missing parts, rewiring, repairs, odors, moth damage, and restoration.
- Keep receipts, service records, provenance, appraisals, tags, boxes, weights, keys, shades, cases, or related sets together.
