"Thanks so much for the appraisal - our curiosity has now been satisfied. For the last 4 years, since purchasing the home, we have often wondered the value. Have a wonderful week." - Ryan and Lesley H

"Thank you so much... I have a similar table, in not as good of condition... it has a minor split and a ring from a hot plate.... I am considering selling it, so I appreciate this service you provide... thanks so much." - M

"I just want to take a moment to respond with a hearty thank you for being out there with this information! Until I punched in "filigree" along with antique/brass/hanging/Indian/etc......I wasn't pulling up any pictures that resemble what I have. My Dad was an art/antique/music box collector-dealer who left behind many items I have hung onto, but never knew the approximate value of. I have one such fixture with the same lattice-type work, but it is taller, in that it has a more domed top/shape. It also only has one bulb. Now, I'm off to check your response on the cloisonne lamp...... Thanks again.......I'm glad to know you're out there." - Debbie G
