Question

Vintage Floor Lamp
The lamp stands 6 ft tall from floor to top of shade. It is very heavy cast metal with marble table top  and marble on the base. All original except for wiring. Shade is more gold and black . The picture makes it look yellow. It is gold painted, with prisms hanging around two levels of the lamp. I'm wondering what this might be worth? I would also like to know the age of it and what company might of made it? It was bought and and estate sale in Miami Florida.
Thanks, Janine

Answer
Hi, these were popular and fancy lamps from the 1960s and early 70s. They were really nice for that period. Have no idea of the MFG. There were many and none were so popular. Still with the marble and functionality it should retail for around $150 Thanks
