19th Century Style Mercury Glass Table Lamp. The shapely, silvery lamp was inspired by mid-19th-century mercury glass, once a covetable alternative to household sterling. Originally vessels for essential oils and perfumes, the vintage bottles have been given a distressed patina for an authentic timeworn appearance. Their style of lamp like these are all now discontinued and this is in good overall condition. Made in India. Additional Measurements: Base - Diameter 9.5 inches.
