This is one of the first deco lady lamps I found. It is cast iron, it reminds me of 1920,s vamp. When I got her she didn't have any glass or wiring. I rewired it and a good friend who is stain glass artist made the fan shade. He used red and black glass with a mirror border.

My eyes just turned from ice blue to jealousy green.Beautiful !!!
Wow, I posted several pics of my old apt. and there was a table with wood carvings of hooded girls holding the table up. This piece has the same lady with identical outfit on it. How cool is that. I believe my table was made in the 20's in America along with your piece. I have seen another table like it recently for auction, only it did not have the marble inset piece.
Thanks hedgewalker for the jealousy green eyes, Thank you PhilDavidAlexanderMorris( would you mind if I call you P.D.A.M.?) for your comment. I would love to find a table like yours to diplay my lamp on.
Thanks for all the love and likes guys.
VERY neat!!!!!!! love it!!!!!!!
