That’s an unbelievable savings as well. This is not a common lamp by any stretch and i have only owned to in my 25 years of collecting and dealing. The glass in this shade is very nice and extremely vibrant and This is a full sized lamp in that its measuring 23 inches tall and the shade being 19 inches wide. The base is properly signed Bradley and Hubbard underneath please see photo, and its in original patina with all four period Hubbell sockets sockets with acorn pulls matching one another and in fine working order. These sockets alone are worth 200-250 dollars folks. There is no damage at all to the very heavy base. As for the shade that is also in very nice overall original condition. Great quality glass certainly Murano as being the maker and as you can see it lights up incredible. All the filligree present and accounted for as well as all the glass holding tabs on the inside of the shade. No breaks in the glass nor missing pieces thereof. I bought it as you see it but think it might have been originally a hanging shade but truthfully i could care less due to the rarity of the shade. I guess if anybody wanted to try and convert back into a hanging shade maybe that option exists as well but for now i think its excellent the way it is. All in all a super nice arts and crafts style lamp by one of the best makers there ever was you cant beat that. We may be able to hand deliver this item ourselves. What that means is this. If you live in the following radius or just outside it, we should communicate about not using a major carrier, so it has a better chance of survival and minimizing damage or a damage claim as well.

TO ALL POTENTIAL BUYERS. Chances are if there aren’t any, it’s a newer item and you shouldn’t want it anyways. In other words, a minor blemish on some metalwork belonging to a large shade or a 1/16 by 1/16 of a paint flake missing, please try and be reasonable. I always describe the important aspects towards condition reports and sometimes my eye misses what I deem immaterial issues such as the aforementioned sentence. Thanks for your understanding.
