ID Help- pierced brass table lamp w/claw feet

I stumbled across this beauty for only $14 and it almost caused a fight in the thrift store! I dared not go to the bathroom as I shopped- I knew someone would swipe it from my cart! I'd love any help in identifying this piece.
All of the lamp passed the magnet test except the "stem", but the sockets and finial are also brass. It has a beautiful patina. I love the pierced design and the claw feet! A google image search is finding absolutely nothing. There is no lamp shade, and I had been hoping to see what the original shade would have looked like. Perhaps it was glass which would of course be more delicate and not have made it this many years!
I was going to rewire it to be on the safe side, but then read somewhere that I should not until I have learned more about the value.
I attached photos, the only markings I can find at all are on one socket:
ARROW H&H
250W-250V
MADE IN USA

It looks like Arrow and H&H merged around 1927, so would be no older than that I'm assuming. Thank you for any help! (I'm also open to ideas for what kind of shade to pair it with!)

 

Larger photos would be helpful. Also, people prefer full-size photos that show within the body of the post (like mine below) rather than thumbnails.
Your lamp looks Moroccan- or Turkish-influenced, I admit that I don't know the finer points of those styles. I'm sure someone more knowledgeable than me will chime in.
The "Fat Boy" sockets make me think possibly 1920s-40s, but that's just a guess. You could try researching them. A photo of the plug may be helpful.
Personally, I think all vintage lamps should be re-wired for safety, if use is intended.
Unfortunately, I do think finding a shade will be difficult. It, too, may have been pierced brass. Maybe something like these (with or without fringe):

 

That's an oldie all right. We used to have a store that just sold lamps and shades, but it's been gone for 20 years.

 

I used to re-wire all my lamps but after a while I thought...lamp wiring is super simple, and modern bulbs so low watt, that as long as the cord, plug, socket are in good repair, it should be fine? You're basically making sure that hot wires are insulated properly (no exposed wires or decayed socket insulation) and don't overheat (IE from too high wattage). I'm ready for an electrician to come tell me I'm wrong though.

 

I worry since older lamps/cords/plugs are non-polarized and ungrounded, and may have poorly insulated wires. And internal components can be degraded.
All this is especially scary with a metal lamp.

 

Agree, you have to watch out with metal lamps.

 

Agree, we need bigger pictures. No harm in rewiring an old lamp. Can buy cloth covered wire if you want to keep the old look.

 

Thank you so much! My larger photos were getting turned down when I tried to upload them, but I will try a medium size and see if that works. These are the most similar lamps I have seen to mine! I tried and tried searching, so thank you for sending these images! It will be an adventure for sure to find the right shade.

 

Do you have any tips on where I could try to find one online or otherwise? That sounds like such a great store!

 

Sounds wise to re-wire it. It does work just fine, however the coating over the wires is worn where it comes out of the hole at the bottom of the lamp. Our neighbor is a master electrician, so I will ask his advice!

 

Great suggestion! I will try to upload larger photos. I struggled with getting the file size right for the forum.

 

I will ask our electrician neighbor and report back!

Here are plug photos if that helps! Both prongs are identical. This also shows where it's worn at the bottom.

Here's some helpful info about posting photos:

I've seen worse .....

 

Thanks for the larger photos. Hopefully, the link in my above post will help you learn how to add photos directly into your posts rather than through the gallery.
I stand by my assessment of Moroccan/Turkish. It's not to everyone's taste (me included, I admit), but is appreciated by many.
Your plug is non-polarized, and with that cord damage..... be careful!!

 

The plug doesn't scare me. The cord damage would have me clipping the cord on the (unplugged) lamp. That's a house fire in waiting.

It was, but it's been gone for over a decade and probably more like two. I'd imagine such stores still exist in large cities, but in smaller ones they're gone. If there is one, they may be only "to the trade" at this point - no retail.

 

Thanks for the better photos. The body of the lamp is definitely of Eastern origin (Middle East, North Africa). The rest of the parts, including the feet, seem to be Western in origin. Sockets are American. Either someone had this made up as a one-off or a company produced lamps combining parts.

The wiring needs to be replaced. It may not be original anyway. Looks to be late 60s or 70s, while the sockets are much older. If this were a one-off creation, I could see someone using an older lamp socket assembly with other newer parts at the time the wiring was done.
