I saved this most wonderful art nouveau lamp from a 90 year old mans garage, now I don’t know anything about art nouveau or even lamps for that matter but I will tell you what I know, the glass shade is a light colored green and if you look at the 8th picture you will see a little chip which is never seen as long as the shade is kept on the lamp, the lip is hidden where the shade is screwed on besides the wonderful glass shade is so nice with a fab old design which of course lets you... know it is from the same period as the lamp. The shade as well as the lamp itself all need to be cleaned, however I dusted the lamp off a bit but I’m leaving the deep cleaning to the buyer who I’m sure knows way more about cleaning it than I do. Also I cannot get the lamp to work and as you can see by the pic the cord is old and I may not have done what needed to be done to get it to work or the cord for the lamp may just be to old to allow it to work, I do know if you know about lamps you can get almost any lamp to work so again leaving that to buyer as well. Now as for the lamp design itself, the lady is nude with the exception of what I called a boa, which may or may not be the correct word for the material she has wrapped part of her body in as she attempts to take a bow, which is what I believe she is doing with one arm outstretched to almost touching the lamp shade and one foot outstretched in a bowing motion. Her breast and butt are both exposed and I love her face as well as her haircut, she looks beautiful. This lamp is so nice. The base of the lamp is metal and I believe at one time had a bottom of some sort most likely felt or something like that. The metal appears to be pot metal but I’m not really good at which metal is which so we will leave it at that. Buyer pays 14.99 in shipping, I know it most likely will ship higher than that but I will pay the difference I only accept PayPal and expect payment 24 hours after auction ends and I will mail 24 hours after payment is received all sales are final so bid accordingly thanks for looking
