This is a very old, probably 19th century, oil lamp that was converted to electric. It has beautiful hand painted lilies on both sides, an ornate cast base, and a chimney (unusual color and flower design). It lights up inside as well as on top, switch on the brass oil lamp area, includes both bulbs. It also has a removable shade tripod that fits at the top if you want to add a lamp shade, and measures 23.5" tall and 9" wide, tripod is for a shade about 12-13" wide. I like the way it looks with just the chimeny and no shade. I bought this at an antique store years ago and didn't have a spot for it, so packed it away. I just took it out and don't have room for it anymore after I moved! Great antique condition.
