Hi Francis,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.

This is a large torchiere-form cast brass table lamp with a wonderful smoky-colored alabaster shade; it's made in the Renaissance Revival style, probably mid 20th Century. Most of the value in this lamp comes from the shade, which gives off a luminous glow.

Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:
