Hi I tried to find this kind of lamp on the net but to no avail. Somebody on the ebay told me that it is a galle, can anyone confirm if this is real or just a quality reproduction please. I have attached some photos, does the signature ring a bell? Thanks

If you google "gallé lamp" you'll see a link that lists Gallé Lamp Manufacturers. It's a new Chinese lamp made by the Limac Company, and not old. There are tons of knock-offs, most are marginal quality. (Émile Gallé was a French Art Nouveau glass artist of impeccable quality. His work is highly sought after and very expensive, which makes it an excellent target for copying.)
