Absolutely stunning and unique lamp. It gives off a lot of light with a 60w bulb. The pull cord is handy and it is more substantial than I realized it would be. The brass colour isn’t bad. The undertone is orange which is a better fake than I’ve seen with other items with a fake brass finish where the undertone is green! . It’s very heavy due to the marble base. Which by the way does have some incredible veining. As it is marble each base will be different. It’s too bad that other reviews share that their base was lacking, but honestly if it were all black it would still be just as beautiful.
