[QUOTE="bluemoon, post: 206645, member: 1296"]Oh, the stem isn't painted. I meant the metallic parts. The column is a beige-green onyx. Online I've seen examples that were said to be as old as 1870's but yes this particular style was around till at least circa 1910, but most of them being from around 1900. Yes, turns out it wasn't the original shade of that other lamp and I thought it would fit this one well. These column lamps I've seen with a variety of different shades: ball, "tulip" such as this (in varying sizes) and even fabric-covered ones. One thing I was wondering about was this odd structure at the bottom of the lamp.
