Vintage Gold and Brass 4 Light Lantern
Located in Dallas, TX
Presenting a lovely vintage gold and brass 4 light lantern from circa 1955. Lovely restored Moe Lighting Lantern from circa 1955. Made in the U.S.A. 4 bulb Lantern in full functional condition and sympathetically restored to its original beauty. The Lantern is gilt metal and brass and is covered in gold leaf. It has been recently re-gilted. The top finial of the lantern is beautifully cast with scrolling arms and handles. There are 5 glass panels edged in brass. The interior working bulb platform is on a tilt central column or lever that tilts with the movement of the lantern in the wind. Both the top and bottom parts of the lantern have a pierced gallery and the base has a removeable plate with a final to access the bulbs on the interior. The interior has a label hidden from view under the bulb base (see photos) confirming that the Lantern was made by Moe Light of Fort Atkinson Wisconsin a Division of Thomas Industries. This helps us date the piece as Moe Lighting was acquired by Thomas Industries in 1953. We are of the opinion that this piece date from the mid 1950’s. A beautiful addition to any home of style !! Thomas Industries was formed in a 1953 merger of two companies–a lighting fixture manufacturer and the maker of electrical spraying machines–both of which came into being in the late 1920s. The unlikely marriage of these two product lines was the cornerstone of what would become the company’s two core businesses: lighting fixtures and air compressors/pumps. The lighting fixture side of Thomas Industries traces its history back to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and two brothers: Henrik and Ole Moe. The Moe Brothers, together with a number of other entrepreneurs, owned the Moe-Bridges Co., a lighting fixture manufacturer formed in 1919. As a result of friction among the Moe-Bridges management, however, the Moe brothers were frozen out of the company in the late 1920s by the majority owners. Deciding to stay with the industry they knew, the Moes formed another lighting fixture company called Moe Brothers Manufacturing. Henrik’s two sons joined the business in the early 1930s, and in 1938, the company moved its operations from Milwaukee to Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin. While the Moe brothers were building their lighting fixture business, the Electric Sprayit Company–the forerunner to Thomas Industries’ compressor and pump division–was also testing its wings. In 1928, the Electric Sprayit Company was formed in Chicago “to manufacture, buy, and sell electrical spraying machines, blowers, air compressors, mechanical, and mercantile devices.” In a curious twist of fate, in 1934 the Electric Sprayit Company acquired Moe-Bridges, the company that had forced out the Moe brothers, and moved from Chicago into the Moe-Bridges plant in Milwaukee. In 1939, Electric Sprayit moved its operations again, this time to Sheboygan, Wisconsin. During World War II, both companies stopped making their standard product lines in order to produce materials for the war effort. At the close of the war, in 1946, Moe Brothers received a large contract from Sears to produce household pressure cookers. Although the company had not previously manufactured pressure cookers, the large stamping presses they had obtained for the war gave them the production capabilities for the job. The brothers planned to use sales revenues from the pressure cooker contract to return to the lighting fixture business. Unfortunately, Sears rescinded the company’s contract due to a product malfunction. In the aftermath of the contract loss, pressured by the bank to repay existing debt, the Moe brothers decided to sell the company. Moe Brothers was purchased in 1948 by a Louisville investment group headed by Lee Thomas. Thomas, the former president of Ekco Products in Chicago, had recently purchased a small saw business in Louisville and was looking for further investment opportunities. His new purchase was renamed Moe Light, and a national advertising campaign was launched to promote residential lighting fixtures. Two years later, Moe Light expanded by opening a new residential lighting factory in Kentucky and acquiring the Los Angeles-based Star...

Psyche Touch Lamp, Royal Blue & Gold
Located in Mantova, MN
Inspired by the Classical urns from the frescoes in the Hall of Cupid and Psyche in Mantova’s Palazzo Te, this table lamp will stand out in any kind of décor, with its fine ceramic and timelessly elegant shape. The innovative touch technology is activated with the lightest touch on the pedestal: a simple gesture lets you switch and adjust the light in a unique tactile experience. The light source is a 7W LED strip with 3000K, 369 lumen and 100-240V voltage. The maiden with the lamp, the beautiful mortal turned by love into the goddess of souls – Psyche lends her name to a sophisticated play of art, myth and design. The light sculpture Psyche draws from the style of Renaissance artist Giulio Romano, revisiting the ancient vase from his joyful, sensual Cupid and Psyche frescoes - and bathing it in the soft glow of the latest LED technology. With an eye to classical myth and a strong personality, Psyche celebrates the passion of beauty through the centuries. Les First: Light of the Gods A luminous pantheon reinventing myth in a flow of energy and imagination: light sculptures with a strong and versatile personality, a perfect fit for both classical or minimalist settings, born to satisfy the senses and pay tribute to a timeless beauty. The Lamps 1. The Idea: Les First – Top Quality Italian Craftsmanship 2. Technological Innovation: The Dimmable Touch Lamp Technical Information 3. Technical Features 4. Artisanal Production 5. Assembling 6. Packaging and Shipping 7. Maintenance 1. The Idea: Les First – Top Quality Italian Craftsmanship All Les First lamps are inspired by the mythological subjects in the frescoes that Renaissance artist Giulio Romano painted in the halls of Palazzo Te for the Gonzaga lords of Mantua. Distinctive design, blending traditional handmade ceramic from potteries of Venetian tradition with specially created, innovative technology, makes the lamps unique in the field of lighting fixtures. Les First’s top quality table-lamps are crafted in the regions of Lombardy and Veneto. Carefully handpicked artisan workshops craft to specification the various components, that are then assembled in the Les First atelier in Mantova. The finest ceramics and skilled handcraft guarantee top quality together with the uniqueness of artisanal production. 2. Technological Innovation: The Dimmable Touch Lamp The ceramic sculpture, core of the artistic composition, is enhanced by the innovative lighting cylinder of clear Plexiglas. The micro-incisions, laser-engraved by CNC machines on the cylinder’s surface, ensure an even distribution of light across the whole pane. The light is switched and adjusted through an innovative dedicated software, especially created by a technical laboratory in Verona. A microprocessor manages and processes the proximity effect of the user’s hand to control and adjust the light. The system, developed especially for Les First, turns the ceramic sculpture into a dimmable Touch Lamp, whose soft glow can be switched on and off and adjusted simply by touching the lamp’s ceramic base, without a conventional on-off switch. 3. Technical Features: Weight: 8 kg / 17,64 lb Power consumption: 7 W (LED) LIGHT SOURCE AVAILABLE: 1 Led Strip x 7W Lumen: 369 Colour temperature: 3000 K Color Rendering Index (CRI): 90 LED panel lifespan: 50 000 hours Dimmer: Included Voltage: 24Vdc Environment: Indoor Protection Rating: IP 20 Electric insulation class: 3^ Energetic class: A+ Power Supply Technical Data Supply included: Yes Supply voltage: input 100-240V, 50-60HZ; Output 24Vdc Cord Lenght: 100 cm / 39,37 in Indoor use only. Psyche touch lamp is CE certified. 4. Artisanal Production Les First’s ceramic lamps are artisanal pieces, and only a few components are made industrially. Due to the complex and many-staged hand production, each lamp can show individual characters, features unique to the hand-crafting process that must not be viewed as faults. A slight unevenness in the ceramic surface can result from shrinkage during the firing stage, or from characteristic features of the antique molds. Colors may show variations, with a very individual and pleasing effect, due to the firing process of the crystalline glaze, such as the typical and prized “crackle”. In the case of gold and silver metallic coating, slight irregular cracks can occur on the surface, as the precious metals and clay undergo different dilations during the various firing and cooling stages. Pieces from the same batch can show a slightly different appearance. Such varying reactions to the manufacturing process cannot be entirely predicted even by the most experienced potter, and are part of the unique and enduring charm of hand-crafted ceramic. Each lamp is carefully vetted against out exacting quality standards. Les First holds to the highest quality standards for manual production, as established through centuries of experience in the potteries of Vicenza. The element of imperfection, typical of all hand-made products, is not a fault – but rather the mark of Italy’s ancient handcraft tradition. 5. Assembling Assembling a Les First lamp from its hand-crafted components requires extremely skilled work, and it is never outsourced: the owner personally assembles each piece with the help of his assistants, making sure that the final result conforms to the chosen quality standard. 6. Packaging and Shipping All Les First products are carefully hand-packages, with materials specially designed to ensure the stability and protection of the lamps. The crates are sized to accommodate the lamps and the protective layers of expanded polyethylene and/or high-expansion foam that ensure the lamps’ protection if correctly handled. These inner layers can vary, according to specific needs. The weight of the packaging must be added to that of the lamp itself. Psyche lamp...
