and these...
and these...
these...

well, just say I would have a hard time choosing from all these gorgeous Venetian and Murano lamps.


If you are looking for glass lamps you won't find anything more beautiful than these vintage beauties from Swank lighting. It's a great story how these guys have all these lamps to offer on their website and ebay store.
When Ed Sexton and Doug Taylor happened across a long hidden, nearly forgotten treasure trove of handblown vintage Murano lamps from the 40s, 50s and 60s, they bought the entire inventory and SWANK LIGHTING was born.
The Edward P. Paul Company originally imported these gorgeous high-end lamps from the finest Venetian glass houses and were offered at fine department stores such as Macy’s, Bloomingdales and Marshall Fields.
Changing tastes and mass production techniques in the 1970s compelled the Edward P. Paul Company to focus fully on their gilded iron furniture business, leaving hundreds of beautiful Murano lamps crated, untouched and all but forgotten in an east coast warehouse.
When Ed and Doug came upon what can only be described as a 20th Century archeological find, they purchased the entire contents of the warehouse. They took seven months to uncrate these timeless works of art from Murano and Venetian craftsmen. They then completely restored the Murano lamps using UL Certified hardware.
