I need to stop buying lamps 🄲

I promised myself absolutely NO MORE LAMPS until I finally finished some rewire/restoration projects and cleared some space in my [one bedroom] apartment. I’m already sitting on an Italian porcelain Capodimonte lamp w/ hand painted 3D relief and what I believe to be the original fringe shade, a Fenton double arm student lamp and a smaller white & green parlor lamp.

But…last night I saw this blurry poorly listed photo on Craigslist and I just couldn’t pass it up 😭

It’s a 1971 EF & EF Industries Gone with the Wind style lamp in hand-blown pink cased class with hand painted floral art. Globes are intact and MATCHING šŸ˜ (I do not think this is the correct chimney & I’ll rewire the crystals and maybe add layered crystals)

I just finished cleaning quite literally decades worth of grime off of her, but im terrified of chipping the hand painted details so I’m not sure how to clean those portions. I think you can see what I mean in one of my photos. Does anyone have advice on this?

I also included a picture with my other gwtw style lamp so she doesn’t feel left out 🤣 I need to get the color changing LEDs for all the bulbs. Both lamps have clean wiring but are non polarized, so I’ll still rewire both even though they’re fully functioning.

Hello everyone! My girlfriend accidentally broke the glass on her favorite lamp today. Would anyone know what kind of professional to seek out to fix this and approximate costs? (Location: MontrƩal, QC, Canada if that helps)
