[QUOTE="Ghopper1924, post: 1870246, member: 5170"]Some beautiful lamps here! Komo, usually the maker would pair a certain base with a certain shade, especially when there's a theme like your Egyptian base. They would usually design the base and shade to complement each other. Lamps that keep the shade and base together over time usually command the highest prices. That said, your base certainly looks good with several different shades. Like the others, I've got a "married" lamp or two, and the fact is one of them looks far better with the (new) antique base as opposed to its original base. In sum, after 100 years or so I think a little mix and match is perfectly fine, so long as all parties are aware of it.[/QUOTE]
