Gloria N. Greenwald Antiques & Folk Art
We have been dealing in early 18th & 19th century country antiques and folk art since 1989. The major Americana antique shows of the Northeast were a focus for many years. Having retired from the show circuit in 2006, we now concentrate on selling privately and online. We deal primarily in country smalls including painted boxes and bowls, lighting, iron and tinware, and baskets. We look for makers who understood form and function, even when handcrafting rather primitive objects. Our preference is for pieces that please the eye AND perform a function.
19th c., Very Rare "Sick Room Candle Lamp."
Sick Room lamps were a specialized lighting piece used in the 19th century. They provided gentle low light where ill persons were being cared for. The mica window provided that gentle safe light. Many of these little lamps were discarded when electricity was introduced. The first of its kind that I have seen. It's in wonderful original condition. 6.5" h x 5" diameter.
