Unsigned. 21″ H x 14″ diameter.

Condition report:
The lamp is in good, working condition. The carved alabaster section shows several small chips and minor losses to the edges of the high-relief foliate decoration. There is minor surface dust and light discoloration consistent with age. The marble base has natural veining and small flea bites along the sharp edges. The fabric shade is clean and free of significant staining or tears. The wiring is an older non-polarized style.
