      hi kim -- your lamp does not appear to be as it was originally made -- the cranberry ball has the shinny brass along with the brass the marble is anchored to -- the upper appears to be the older original gilded (spelter maybe) piece -- maybe in its former life it was part of a chandelier -- wiring also seems to have been reworked -- did granny have a love to mix n match perhaps -- with the right shade it will be a beauty in your home and will serve to remind you of your grandmother
