[QUOTE="sabre123, post: 1282473, member: 8258"]Does the glass shade thread onto the threaded section? My opinion is, this is a later version of an antique lamp. Very pretty, just not terribly old. In terms of the material, you can check if a magnet is attracted to it. If so, cast iron/steel-based. If not, you can do a [small] test scratch underneath where nobody can see.
