An antique, that I picked up at a junk store and painted black & gold. The Glass globe was a close-out item at William Sonoma ( I don't know what the hell it was intended for.) I put a clear, tube bulb inside, but the glass envelope disappeared. So I added a light satin finish on it so as not to obscure the filament. The cord is antique bronze, not plastic. Thnaks to all for the input. @DWT!#:

To work in a genre so strictly defined by materials and to stop short (after all the other work) is just bizarre. Very good looking lamp, but major fails on the plastic cord.

That cord is not encased in plastic; it's a live, rusted wire pumping 660 volts. This lamp is so punk it'll electrocute anyone silly enough to unplug it. STRATOJOE:

Normally those flipped-out prongs are beneath the threaded ring, which is what forces them into the trunk of the tree. It’s a Christmas tree stand, in cast iron.
