This includes an old brass finial on top of the harp. Measures 25" tall to the top of the finial. Condition: The lamp is complete and is from an estate, so it has been used. T is some gilding loss, especially on the top of the globe. T is also some discoloration on the top of the glose. The floral pattern has no paint loss, but again, some gilding loss and t The globe is not chipped or cracked. T is no noticeable damage to the figural, in original patina.
