    It could possibly be an epergne but it looks rather precarious for that. Perhaps the 131 refers to a stand style, to be married to a variety of art glass tops. In the late 19th century, some American silver and plate companies would partner with glass manufacturers to produce these marriages. No idea of the company but probably not high-end.

    575A19F6-05E5-4A43-AA7A-FBDBD1B18326.jpeg Maybe intended to look like a table lamp popular at the time.
    Still not sure of ITS use, other than as Aaron said candle holder,
    Possibly.

    So the glass is still somehow attached to the metal?

    Whats with the cord? Was it once a lamp? Could be re -puposed art? At second glance that ribbed strand, might not be a cord, need to set the rum down. Lol
