Likely Italian in origin. The form is a beefy circular column with rounded shoulders topped with a tall brass top neck cap. Would fit well with Halston or Pierre Cardin inspired glamorous decor schemes.

The gorgeous glass patterning was difficult to photograph well, so we provided a lot of angles. It is just sheer enough to see through, so you know it is glass, rather than ceramic. Circa 1970s or early 1980s.

Lamp measures 9"Dia. x 19.5"H from the base to the top of the socket and 27.5"H to the top of the finial area of the harp. Original wiring in working condition; though we always suggest that a professional electrician review prior to use. Some age wear / patina on the brass base, cap and fittings. See less
