[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 290654, member: 51"]Trying to avoid larger items as I primarily sell online, but these were $10 for the set of two at a fairly high end estate (possibly because shades have a burn mark). The base has an intentional "crackle" look, top section is wood, and there is even a wooden finial ball on top of each. Shades are kind of unusual -- rounded on one side, flat on the other. Part of the shade (on each) has a burn mark. No idea how this could have happened as the shade clears the bulb by a solid 6" on each side, but nevertheless is there.
