Late 50s on the floral design one and the early 60s Mod. era on the gourd shape one ??

Feldman Lighting was in business from the 40's until the 70's, some of their pieces are bringing over $1000 online..... Based on the UL sticker I think yours is one of the older ones. What it's worth I can't say but if you contact some good vintage lighting places someone might be able to give you a value. The other one I don't know.... does it have any kind of sticker inside or makers name?

I had a few more minutes to look around, apparently the bouquet chandelier is what's known as a "Tole" style, and will likely also date to the 40's - 50's. couldn't find an exact match, but it sounds like they were mostly French or Italian from the little bit of looking I did. It sounds like there is some market for them, do a google image search for "Tole bouquet chandelier" and it will turn up a lot of similar ones, you might find a match,

They're pretty neat lights, I know I would have saved them too if they were on one of my jobs

OWG, Way to go on scoring these chandeliers! My Mom had a similar tole bouquet chandelier in which she used in a 'sunroom.' Our family added that room to the house around 1959ish-1961ish. I'm sure there were earlier as well as later versions. I looked at a few on Ebay, and the prices ranged from close to a $100.00 to near $500.00 depending on the size and style.

I need to start looking at vintage lamps again at thrift shops and flea markets. I've got a signed table lamp made of Waterford Crystal in the shed worth maybe 90 bucks and once I bought this 50s Murano grass table lamp at a flea market that made me around $200.00... Your post is a good reminder of things I'm overlooking. Heck new lighting at Home Depot ain't cheap either.

No it sure isn't, I just spent a lot more than I had planned on for lights on a job. I'll save anything I can when I'm doing demo, I have boxes of antique doorknobs, piles of trim, some lights and assorted odds and ends, people down here are starting to want to have original period hardware in their houses and they're willing to pay up for it, so it's made me a few bucks having all that. I have to watch myself though or my house would look like a salvage store and I'd end up on hoarders.

Definitely a good save on those lights, I probably know a few people who would like to have them in their houses, so I'm sure you'll do pretty good on them.

You got that right! Glad they're saved since they have some value......not to me though........I think they're F'ugly.
