I have just bought this and two other lamps which are also posted here, but don't have dimensions to hand as I have not collected it yet. I can not find aimilar in my research. Does any kind soul have any advice? Thank you Christine
Looks like an art deco lamp, which is like one I seen more recently up for auction. I think the most pleasing shade would be one that is like this one which is small. They made beautiful ones that were all brass but simpler and much nicer than this link. They had the shape but not the tacky decoration of this first one :

These are the ones I am talking about, put in a small chandalier bulb. They may be available at a lighting store and I would not go to this ripoff artist :

I bought my shades at Sears and I bought a bunch since it was a sale. But that was in the mid 90's when I got mine. Got all for 15.00 each or less, so they were prob selling out at that time, they were all brass but bought a bunch of the black finished ones also which are pretty classic.
