Vintage Tole-apalooza!


Once in a while you come across something that you can only dream of.
These vintage tole lamps "fell" into my lap Saturday.
I can tell you that I payed a pretty penny for these, and that's tough considering that I have to consider the mark up that I'm going to take so that my customer gets a fair price, and I can pay the bills. Can you believe these beauties?
They are different shapes, but matching in decor which makes it even better in my opinion.
They are about 18 inched in height and in working order.
I still have some scrubbing to do because they are rather grimy, but the end result will be worth it.
The light bulb actually hangs from the flower, and the little candle flame is just decorative.
Precious!

  1. Sometimes we all have to pay that little extra for quality. And then add a little scrub power too.
    They are too nice to leave behind.
