This is such an unusual antique lamp. It has elements of both Art Deco and Art Nouveau. The lamp is made of cast iron and retains the original paint. It has a small hole on the ladies fingers that allows light to pass through from the back making it look like she is wearing a diamond ring. There is an impressed number on the back "1465" but there are no other marks. Overall dimensions are 8 1/4" high and 4 3/4" x 3 1/2" at the base. The back has a single screw which is where the light socket would mount, when I acquired this it had no fittings, it would need to be rewired anyway so it is ready to set up whichever way you choose. The lamp base is in very good overall condition with no chips, cracks or repairs in the metal. There is some wear to the paint on the high points as you can see in the photographs. This is such an unusual piece it would make a great addition to an Art Nouveau or Art deco decor.
