Emerald Green Lampshade Appraisal

Vintage Table Lamp with Ornate Base and Green Fabric Shade

This is a vintage table lamp featuring a distinctive, ornate cast metal base and a conical fabric lampshade. The base appears to be constructed from dark-finished metal, possibly cast iron or a similar heavy alloy, with a matte black or very dark bronze coloration that shows some signs of intentional distressing or age-related wear, revealing lighter metallic undertones on raised edges. The base incorporates an intricate, scrolled, or foliate design in its central baluster section, resting on a sturdy, stepped square or octagonal foot. The lamp's stem leading to the light socket is slender and black. The lampshade is conical, wider at the bottom than at the top, and covered in a textured green fabric. The fabric has a 'slub' or 'tweed' like appearance, with variations in the weave and lighter flecks, suggesting a linen or burlap-like material. Both the top and bottom rims of the lampshade are trimmed with a metallic or metallic-finished band, likely brass or bronze, matching the warm undertones seen on the base. There is some visible fraying or wear on the fabric of the shade, particularly on the right side in one of the close-up images, indicating age and use. The electrical cord is black and visible, trailing from the base. The overall style suggests a mid-20th century aesthetic, possibly late Art Deco or early Mid-Century Modern with traditional decorative elements, showcasing solid craftsmanship in the base's casting. The lamp appears to be in functional condition, although the shade shows minor cosmetic flaws.
