1920's Syrian Lamp made from a large candle holder. A piece this size would take a family several months to make. Intricate etched and carved detail throughout. One family member would etch the design onto the formed metal cylinder. It would then be handed off to the next family member to punch out the design with small chisels. Then another family member would polish down the rough edges and finally, it would be assembled by the finisher. It measures 28" to the top of the light socket by 7" across at the base, and weighs 4.5 pounds before packing. A harp in your preferred size will be provided at the time of sale. New old stock rayon cord and Bakelite look plugs are also available at cost.
