This has a great look to it and has been kept in good vintage condition. There may be some scratching or surface wear from age which is to be expected. Please see all photos for details and feel free to ask any questions. We always recommend rewiring old fixtures prior to using them and the plug on this one is still original and very old. This piece measures 8.5 tall. The shade appears to be glued into place. Its made of cast iron. Please keep in mind that the majority of the items in my store are used, vintage or antique. I try to list every item accurately and to the best of my ability including any damage that I may find. There may be surface wear, scuffing or minor things to items that would come with normal use so if there is something specific you are concerned about please ask. If you are unhappy with an item please send me a message and let me know.
