This was also recently inherited from my uncle. The electrical cord is in fantastic condition, but looks like it was replaced. It's an older cord, but not original. The black paint has some chips, but is in overall good condition. It is a beautiful deco piece. As far as I can tell there is not much information about the maker Frankart, but that it is possibly a common deco maker with plenty of collector's. Anybody have any info about Frankart?

This website is my tribute to Arthur von Frankenberg of Frankart Inc. fame. He was the sculptor and designer of the most creative and stylized Art Deco and Art Nouveau figural items for that company. His designs emphasized the artistic nude female form in utilitarian household items, such as lamps, ashtrays, ashstands, bookends, vases and other accessories.(http://www.decollector.com/)
I hope this helps you.
Great info, thanks!
