Victorian Figural Lady Table Lamp

This is a decorative table lamp featuring a figural base in the form of a Victorian woman. The statue is likely cast in spelter (white metal) or bronze with a dark verdigris or blackened patina. The figure is depicted in mid-motion, holding a floral cluster overhead and clutching the edge of her skirt. She is dressed in late 19th-century attire, including a fitted bodice with puffed shoulders and a long draped skirt. The sculpture stands on a tiered circular base with embossed neoclassical motifs. Attached to the figure is a gooseneck lamp arm that extends upward to support a large, ornate shade. The shade is a cream-colored fabric with a scalloped bottom edge and an exceptionally deep, tiered fringe. The construction suggests a late 19th to early 20th-century assembly, common in the Victorian or Edwardian periods. The craftsmanship shows intricate casting in the fabric folds and facial features. Condition appears vintage with a heavy patina on the metal and some slight yellowing to the fabric fringe consistent with age. No visible maker's marks are identifiable from the image, but the style is reminiscent of European or American 'art metal' manufacturers from the 1890-1910 era.
