Hi Christopher,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
Shade #1490 is Tiffany Studios' "Water" or "Pond Lily" model, while the Tiffany Studios base model 584 is a gilt or verdigris bronze table lamp base commonly paired with richly decorated Favrile-glass shades—most notably the iconic Jeweled Feather and Dragonfly designs; yours has a very nice patina.
When offered at auction, the shade model tends to dictate the pricing of these table lamps. Recent prices realized for this shade range from $5,000-35,000, depending on the base model. While I don't see any exact matches to this combination, a reasonable fair-market valuation on this would be $20,000-30,000.
Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:
