Antique lighting fixture. I think it would be lovely to put flowers in it. In this coming season, you could use it for evening tea ceremonies or night storytelling, and I think it would spark conversation. There are small, scattered scratches on the lamp window, but as it is an old item, I consider it part of the charm, so I have listed it as having no noticeable scratches. Please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned, are overly sensitive, or do not understand antiques. Thank you very much.
