    Thought you guys might appreciate this, I've had it pretty much my whole life. Would love to know who the manufacturer was!

    I have never seen another one in-person, only some pics online. 20240314_114123.jpg

    Weird but lovely, and great that the shades are still in one piece. Well, two pieces, to be correct.;)
    No clues on or around the base?

    Sadly, no. She had this one, and another kind that had what looked like had glass spun around the bulbs like a yarn. It was really neat. I think that one got broken, though.

    Looks to be in really good shape. Usually the brass finish goes and the wood finish starts flaking. The wood can be refinished, but I don't know that there's much can be done when the brass goes.

    The yarn-like one was probably spun fiberglass, aka spaghetti fiberglass.

    That is seriously stylish. I used to hate MCM but I guess we dont take things we grew up with seriously.

    Yep, I seem to recall hers being like the one at this link. I think hers only had 2 globes, though:
