VTG 6-Light Massive Sea Monsters. Baroque Arts & Craft. 4 smaller shades no longer available. Size does make a difference in the qualitative presence an object exerts on those around it but this monolith of a lamp has plenty of attributes beyond simple heft to draw all eyes from the room. Although each of the four shade holders retain their original screws, threaded sockets have been installed to allow fitterless shades equal usage. The easy access rotary switch enables 3-way lighting, so that the four pendant lights and the top two primary shade lights can operate independently. The top has a generalized shade holder or riser assembly to allow a multitude of different shades to be used. The lamp is covered in intricate decorative details, including 4 sea beasts descending towards the base, floral motifs and more. This centerpiece weighs 8 lbs 8 oz before packing. It measures 39 inches tall, 16 wide and 11 1/2 across the base. I can bring the height down to 34 inches by removing the riser on top. A magnet does not attract. The lamp appears to be made of brass and spelter. I see what might be residue of clear epoxy used to keep the different sections of the base from weight-induced sliding. The shade holders will take standard 2 1/4 inch fitters. All parts appear tight, original and absent noticeable blemish. The four threaded sockets and the top two sockets in sleeves would be newer. The socket threadings have minor wear and chipping but does not reject the use of rings to secure non-fitter shades with 1 3/4 inch holes. The lamp is in excellent working condition. I acquired this beauty with a handsome hoard of lamps and period parts from established antiquities dealers over the years for my lighting business. This listing is for a genuine artifact of a bygone era that will be a pleasure to welcome into a new home. Please ask all questions. Thank you for viewing my listing.
