I have been approached by a person writing an article on peg lamps, and we are discussion on the question of whether some of the âso calledâ lace lamps were in fact of the âpeg lampâ variety.
These are the the glass (not always but for our purposes glass will be the material) oil reservoirs that were made especially to be able to âSlot-inâ to an existing candle holder/candlestick. I have looked at my pictures and think that it is quite possible that some of these lamps my well have this facility. Most of you know that my resources are almost all digital and (ashamedly) I rely on you good folks to help me with the real objects when I need it. So I am asking if those of you who have lace lamps would have a look at them as see if they are of the âpeg lampâ variety. It is almost certain that the short ones will not be peg lamps, but if you have a taller one it may well be interesting to see if it is of the âpeg lampâ genre. >From my resources I suspect the Andover museum examples of Lace Lamps may just be peg lamps, other too. If you want to find put more about peg lamps, here is a UTube video of them. One of them (the tall glass one) is the sort of thing I am looking for) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACDoVz_N8so Many thanks Brian Ukulele Stuff: http://tiny.cc/mg5rhw Lace Bobbin articles: http://tinyurl.com/ce4q27l - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
