Each bears the label "Messenger & Sons, 63 Hatton Garden, London & Birmingham, Manufactured For Alfred Welles, Boston". Messenger was at this address from 1833-48 which allows us to date the lamps very accurately. The period shades are hand blown and expertly hand engraved. Dimension:13 1/4" Height
