This weekend, I went to the The Edwardian Ball & World's Faire 2011, held in San Francisco's Regency Ballroom (built 1909) on January 21 and 22, celebrating macabre mid-century storybook illustrator Edward Gorey, as well as Edwardian, Victorian, and Roaring Twenties fashion.
Their Cabinets of Curiosity & Natural Wonders contained many wonderful (and creepy!) things, including this awesome lamp, an antique wheelchair, a scale, and a birdcage. Behind the web of antique lace and linen you can see the beautiful ceiling of the Regency Ballroom.

I love your blackamoor lamp, I have seen many but not this one with the dance style stance. This one of yours however does have the most desirable cloth shade which is original, its beautiful to see !~Phil.
