This monumental rock-crystal lamp is a collaborative masterpiece executed by the best glassmaker, Thomas Webb & Sons, and the best glass engraver William Fritsche. It is one of the most ambitious pieces created by the Stourbridge, England glassworks, and indeed may be the largest model ever produced by the firm. Fritsche, considered to be the finest engraver of rock-crystal in the world, decorated the lamp with an outstanding swirling floral pattern. Fritsche's etched signature can clearly be seen on the lamp's body and each piece of silver bears the Thomas Webb hallmark. Resplendent in size and quality, this piece is in excellent condition.
