Absolutely unique and special lamp. The black cloisonné base has been embedded with mother of pearl as well embellished with flowers made from large pieces of mother of pearl. The brass has a lovely aged patina on the top and bottom of this lamp. And we have a nice black rosewood stand to finish off the look. We are including a shade which has lived a full life, but this shade will be fine until you decide to replace it. Consider it a gift with purchase. This item includes restricted materials and can not be sold outside of the contiguous United States.
