Mount: The vase is mounted on a circular heavy metal base and topped with a finely chased metal collar with geometric and stylized foliage motifs. The whole supports a lyre-style lampshade frame in brass.
Electricity: Original electrical system (wiring and European plug to be checked or adapted to current safety standards).
Technical specifications
Origin: China / European assembly (Art Deco / mid-20th century for the mounting)
