A Galle cameo glass shade, with a brass 'dragon' lamp base, c.1910, the globular shade with pink acorns and acorn leaves, etched signature, 7.5cm., the dragon brass lamp base with scrolling tail, total height 18cm
Estimate £300-500

The shade has some scuffing to the surface, particularly on the side of the signature, below the Galle signature is a polished out area which has the acid edge finish probably done in manufacture, minute shallow chip to the inside of the collar which fits the light fitting, otherwise good.
The brass base itself is generally a bit grubby and tarnished and has wear to the foot consistent with age. The lamp has old wiring which will probably need re-doing.
