Another lost art,like letter writing.
Welcome Tom.
My guess is India.
At first I thought tv lamp,but I guess it might be a radio lamp ? I thought 40s-50s in age.
Pretty,Id have bought it. Maybe try searching under flask shape ?
I always associated that filigree style with the middle east as well. The smaller ones could be candleholders. It may not be sterling,but it very...
Id guess 1950s-60s. That ornate style isnt very popular at the moment,I couldnt imagine it would be worth much more than $20-30 .

Wow,thank you ! So someone put a silver panel in the one I have ? The rest is tin plated ? I had no idea tin would tarnish . Why does mine not...
I thought maybe so. I havent found anything like it so far.But then thats no surprise since I cant find diddly squat anymore !
I long ago thought myself past this look,but Id have leapt on those with both feet ! gorgeous!
