Purchased this lamp from a fabric store which also has a back room dedicated to estate items. I'm certain they replaced the cord and possibly the felt bottom, as the store does minor refurbishing to items if needed. I'm not sure how old it is, from the 60s to the 90s, I haven't a clue.
I've had it in my possession for about 10 yrs and at the time found info about it online. Of course I didn't keep track of my notes. The brass is brighter than shown in the photo. There is only a basic felt pad on the bottom so I didn't show the bottom. I scoured leaves and fronds, but no signature.
Scale: Lily on the left is approx 3 3/4" and the one on the right is roughly 3". The base is approx 11" x 8" and it came with a basic black silk shade.
Lastly, the base is heavy and almost feels like petrified wood. I doubt it is, but it has that look and feel to it.
Any information would be appreciated. Thanks.
It would be helpful if you replace one of your pictures to show the whole piece. But looking at your pictures and reading your description, I wonder if this is a married object. I found this brass sculpture and it looks very similar to yours..that base could've easily been added..

Thanks dav2no1, I changed out the last photo but left off the shade. My camera phone is so low quality, it is a pain to get anything but mid-range photos.
When I initially purchased this, I did see an identical lamp online with the same base so I think that sculpture may be a either a disassembled lamp or one never made it to production, but it's definitely the same so thanks for locating it.
In my search, I've seen Nenuphar lamps which look similar, but not identical.
I should have said, possibly Maison Charles, which is now considered a collabrative workshop, Nenuphar simply means water lily, my mistake.

Ahh, thank you so much! They don't indicate a maker either so I'm going to assume its it's an newer, imported store brand of some sort. After looking at the back of mine, I see the assembly is shiny so it can't be too old. Thanks again.
Absolutely beautiful lamp, love the tranquil waterlily design
