The entire surface of the base and column has been meticulously worked to produce a hammered finish, reflecting and refracting light like a gemstone. As copper resists tarnish, the sparkles are functionally for - ever. The robust column is further enhanced with large indentations towards the top, giving the lamp a playful personality with a strong period presence. Glass blowing masters in Tiffany, Quezal, Steuben and other renowned studios often used similar large indents to accentuate their vases and bowls. The base is tiered and supplements the scale of the work. The socket has been installed with a tight fit as evidenced by its support of the large glass globe shade in pictures. The base underside reveals a wire management system and attention to detail usually absent in mass produced vintage lighting instruments. Whoever made this, it was carefully designed and professionally executed with great love and effort. The base has a slight wobble which should be easy to straighten with some gentle rubber mallet work or filing. I have given it a cursory cleaning and leave the rest to the buyer's discretion.

I acquired this lighting piece with a handsome hoard of lamps and period parts from established antiquities dealers over the years for my lighting business. I am saddened by its departure but also delighted it may be lovingly received and put to good service by new caretakers. This listing is for a genuine artifact of a bygone era that will be a pleasure to welcome into a new home. The pictures are an important part of the description.

Make sure your shipping address is updated and accurate on eBay Buyer only pays USPS shipping postage and insurance. I foot the cost of packing products and labor for USPS items. I use clean, recycled materials and a heavy-duty box whenever possible. Tall and long items can bend during transport and become damaged when passed from hand to hand. Oversized packages, long distances and difficult terrain may require special handling. Special packing increases my costs in labor and materials but I do not pass this on to the buyer. However, special packing may make the package larger or heavier and may impact postage and delivery costs. UPS will pack, insure and deliver purchases with nearly 100% guarantee or your money back. If used, their shipping cost will reflect the added service (above eBay's shipping calculator).
