[QUOTE="ascot, post: 253175, member: 96"]Not sure whether "tole" is the appropriate term here, but it's all I can think of. The cord is marked F M C Milano, and the plug isn't grounded. The lamp is all metal - at least I think it is. It appears to be weighted as it weighs 7 lbs . The faux malachite (again, not sure if I'm using the right term) orange-y shade is metal, and the similar color base appears to have seams at the corners, so I think it's metal applied over something very heavy. The romantic scene in the shade is a decal, as is the scroll work around the genie (or is there a better word?) shape font. The base is covered with green felt, so I can't see if there are any marks. Thoughts on origin, maker, age? Also, since I'd like to list it, any help with description or key words would be much appreciated! Thanks!
