Antique Pair of English Black and Gold Tole Tea Canisters Adapted to Table Lamps

About the Item

A pair of late 19th c. tea canisters adapted to table lamps each with 3 bulb sockets.

Each has an issuing brass standard topped with a double-cluster socket, on an ebonized wood base and brass bun feet. These are very smart lamps.
