Rescued from Irwins.

When Irwins in Southport was converted into a self-service Tesco, these wonderful glass lampshades were thrown out.

I rescued this one.

It could be at least 90 years old.

 

Round the top it says:

"PATD. 1909 No 20222.

HOLOPHANE F150 (Copyright mark)"

 

Holophane are still in business:
