I love the mechanism on this one. The green metal shade slides up and down the center rod on a little wingnut adjuster, which is how the original candle versions kept the light even as the wax burned down. This is the classic three-light bouillotte form, the French card-table lamp everyone knows from traditional and English-country rooms, now wired and ready to use.
This is an honest, used decorative lamp and it shows its age in the shade. The green painted shade has scattered chips and paint losses, with one noticeable loss to the front and chipping along the lower rim, plus a fine overall crackle to the surface. The gilt laurel band inside the rim is worn but reads clearly. The brass-toned arms, column, and tray carry a warm patina consistent with age and use. The faux-candle sleeves over the sockets are worn, with the molded drip detail intact. The lamp has been rewired with a new cord, plug, and inline switch, and it works.
AMD strongly recommends having the piece inspected and, if needed, rewired by a licensed electrician before use. It is sold as a decorative item and Austyn Marie Design is not responsible or liable for any malfunction, damage, or injury resulting from its use or electrical operation.
