Medium confidence in era due to standard cast metal construction methods and wiring typical of mid-20th-century decorative lamps; lack of maker's mark is common for mass-market decorative lighting of the period.
Flaws to Note
Minor paint chips or discoloration consistent with age; shades may show slight dust or age yellowing.
