A gentleman purchased this brass candlelight cluster desktop lamp at a resale shop. He contacted me for repairs to this very unique lamp. I can see why he was so intrigued with the lamp. This small desktop lamp has candle lights that swivel, a brass arrow that adjusts the shade height and a brass wreath finial. This lamp is a one of a kind find!

The shade is a blackout shade. No light passes through the lampshade. The light comes out of the top and the bottom of the shade. The construction of the shade is most unusual. Most all of these styrene shades (hard laminated material) have the top and bottom wires on the inside of the cover. This is the first I have worked on a shade that the wires were on the outside of the cover material. The wires were unusually thick. The original wire covering was a hard bronze colored cardboard.

The materials on the original shade are a thing of the past and the only restoring feature of this shade is in the construction.

After my gentleman customer receives his lamp back, I will post the pictures of the restore.
