I bought this lamp a few months ago, it was painted with gold paint... When I looked at it on the floor of the flea market, I recognized the shape Maria Pergay, unmistakable even painted! It took weeks to clean, but finally the beautiful brass appeared, now it is ready to receive the fabric of Fornasetti, "Bastoni" by Luciano Marcato, discontinued and collectible fabric. The value of the base can be appreciated on several sites, now in raw brass it will oxidize over time and the signs of the years will continue to be visible, stains and scratches that are the history of the life of this lamp. Perfect, imposing and irreplaceable for those who appreciate a piece manufactured by those who are artists! Normal electrical part E27 for Led lamp, not included, new abatjour with real fabric, it is not to style, nor copy, it is manufactured.
