Appraisal Report
This lamp appears to be a vintage tulip or lilypad style accent lamp. Similar lamps with intricate bases and multiple glass shades, often called 'pond lily' lamps, were popular in the Art Nouveau and Art Deco periods and reproductions are also made. The value depends heavily on whether it is an authentic antique from a notable manufacturer (like Tiffany, which these lamps often mimic) or a more recent reproduction. Without manufacturer markings or knowledge of its provenance, it's difficult to assign a definitive value. Reproductions typically sell in the lower price range, while authentic antiques can fetch significantly more. The condition of the glass shades and the metal work also impacts value. Assuming it is a reproduction in good condition as it appears in the image, the value would be in the lower range.
