Great Grandma's Lamps

by Meredith

My Aunt recently gave me pair of lamps that belonged to my Great Grandma Svac (My father's mother's mother). I was thrilled.  My Grandparents moved from Czechoslovakia to the United States in the 1950's, arriving Ellis Island. They didn't have a lot, but what they did have they took excellent care of - as you can see below.  She purchased these lamps in the 1950's and housed them in various places in her home until she passed. The lampshades have deteriorated over time, but they are still beautiful.
