Beautiful quality base and special shaped shade to  enhance the shape of the base.  The color of the shade when it's lit is a soft muted Olive and I couldn't adjust the photo to show it accurately.  This is not a problem for me.   Wanted a unique lamp for staging my home for sale.  Have not seen it lit yet because wasn't prepared with a three way lightbulb.  Ordered on Saturday evening and received the following Wednesday during the month of December.   Wayfair never disappoints,  bless their hearts.
