Q. I just heard about these Himalayan "salt lamps." They're supposed to ionize and clean the air. Have you ever used one, and do they really work?
A. I don't think so. You could try placing dishes of salt around your house if you want to test this theory before purchasing one, particularly if the lamps are expensive. Honestly though, I think it takes more than a chunk of salt to clean air.
How can I get the value of my Tiffany lamps without paying for an appraiser?
Q. I received 2 dragon fly lamps and I am curious of their value One is an tall telescoping type with 6 bulbs and all bronze base, The other is a lot smaller with bronze dragonflys of the base the shade rest of three bronze armsThe taller lamp has number eched in the underside of the base with a bid z and a little c brand in felt pen,
A. These sound like "Tiffany-style" lamps. If they are real tiffany they would be marked with the Tiffany Studios mark. There are other makers from the late 19th century and early 20th that are also very valuable. I hope yours are worth $100k. Beware of taking them to an antique dealer. If they are valuable, they will give you a figure high enough to make you want to sell them, but FAR below their actual value.
What are some good stores to buy lamps at?
