The milk glass globes are embossed with a 'Cabbage Rose' pattern and decorated with hand-painted pink Wild Roses and green vines. Includes the glass chimney and a decorative pierce-work metal base. Typical of this era, it likely features a 3-way switch (top on, bottom on, or both on).

Highly collectible brand (Fenton); classic 'Gone With The Wind' Victorian revival aesthetic; highly desirable hand-painted floral details; milk glass 'Cabbage Rose' relief pattern; dual-light functionality.
Authenticity Indicators
Check for the 'Fenton' logo (an oval with the name) embossed in the glass or a silver/gold foil sticker. The quality of the hand-painting and the weight of the glass are high indicators. Confidence: High.
Flaws to Note
Minor tarnish on the metal base; electrical cord appears original and should be inspected for safety; potential minor wear to the paint on the rose decals.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (broadest collector reach), Etsy (ideal for vintage decor), or Facebook Marketplace (to avoid high shipping risks and costs).
Selling Tips
Shipping is the biggest hurdle; double-box the glass globes with plenty of bubble wrap. Use keywords like 'Victorian Style', 'Milk Glass', 'Hand Painted', and 'Fenton'. Photograph the lamp while lit to show the warm glow of the milk glass.
