This is an antique table lamp, likely an electrified kerosene lamp conversion, featuring a frosted glass shade shaped like a flame. Most likely converted from a Victorian-era kerosene or oil lamp (a "banquet" or "parlour" lamp). The ornate, filigreed metal base with its spherical body and decorative feet suggests a Neo-Renaissance or Rococo style, likely made of patinated metal (Bronze/ brass). The lamp has a detailed, ornate metal base, from bronze, with decorative cutouts and handles. It appears to be an oil lamp that has been converted for electric use. Kerosene lamps of this style were widely used from the 1860s until the development of electric lighting. The unique flame-shaped glass shade enhances its decorative appeal. This lamp is a "strong" piece that attracts the eye both when it is off and when it is on. When it is off, it unfolds like a refined sculpture; when it is on, it diffuses a captivating light that reveals the richness of the opal glass and the incredible mastery of the master glassmakers.
