Fenton Art Glass 'Lily of the Valley' Cased Glass Boudoir Lamp, c. 1950s

Story

The Lily of the Valley was a favorite motif in post-war American homes because it traditionally symbolized the 'return of happiness,' a sentiment that resonated deeply with families building new lives in the 1950s.

Maker / Origin

Founded in 1905 by Frank L. Fenton, the Fenton Art Glass Company became the largest manufacturer of handmade colored glass in the United States.

Condition & Value

The glass appears to be in excellent condition with no visible chips to the delicate raised flowers. The brass socket shows some oxidation consistent with age, and the pleated shade appears to be a later replacement. The integrity of the glass body preserves the majority of its collector value.
