My parents were great collectors of mid-century and modern art, glass, ceramics, furniture and decoratives. These were all displayed in their Brooklyn Heights townhouse. All 4 sides feature the buildings in different positions. It is mounted on a 1 1/2 wooden base. The lamp is in excellent condition however the socket needs replacing. There is no shade. From base to top of metal pole. Ceramic lamp is 21 H and 5 1/8 W. A great example of great & rare 20th century Italian ceramics.
