Informations historiques : Commentaire de Bernhard Purim: Szekman was a galvanic factory which means their products are not hammered but made through galvanisation. From a first impression the two pairs of lamps don't look like recent Russian fakes. But if you would send me photos of the marks I can tell you more. I'll also try to get this book: http://malgorzatajurko.pl/platery-warszawskie/#.WxYifuQhJFo about Warsaw's silver factories in the 19th and early 20th century.
