Featured Pretty and pretty cool pierced brass lamp

The thing is, most sellers don't have a clue and just throw terms around. For this to be Mamluk, it would have to be at least 500 years old, which it isn't, of course.
For most sellers it would be better if they just stuck to a possible region of origin, instead of trying to name the style or technique.

 

That is certainly the case. Mamluk inspired not Mamluk created is how I’ve described it.

 

I have no reason to believe it is Mamluk inspired though. Best not mention Mamluk at all.

 

Are you going to have it beaded? I know the world's best lamp beading and shade lady if you are interested.http://www.peacockgypsy.com/library-of-sold-lamps/

 

I was thinking it should have something attached. I still have a jar full of beads from a lamp that was junk when I got it. I saved all the beads. Decades later, I still have them.

 

That does look amazing but beads would cover up some of the design. It’s a very short lamp. I love it the way it is for now and have it by my bedside.
I really like that camel lamp and the beadwork though!

edit: also I think the shade was part of a hanging lamp/lantern which should explain why it appears upside down. Took me a bit to put two and two together

 

I think the beads would only hang low enough to cover the lightbulb holder.

 

Good point.
Edit: I had forgotten what my own lamp looked like when I wrote that

 

Hmmmm.....The "Further" Adventures of Rin Tin Tin .... I will go no further ....lol
