The mother of pearl lamps are beautiful!  Tall and just the right size for a room with tall ceilings.  The square white lamp shades give it a clean, contemporary look.  The came well packed with styrofoam and boxed well to prevent damage.  The lamps are weighted well with a sturdy base.  The reason I'm not giving five stars is that one side of one lamp is completely brighter and more varied shells and don't completely look like a matched pair from all sides.  Fortunately, both the fronts of both lamps do match well.
