Hi Jason,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
In the mid and late 19th Century, when trade with the Orient opened up, there was a demand for household furnishings that combined Western forms with Eastern motifs. This lamp exemplifies that trend, featuring pierced mounts, stylized dolphin supports (seen on American furniture in the early 19th century), and that wonderful scalloped base.

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