Its monumental in size, wow. A lot of these lamps are mid century dating from around 1966 to the 70's. I have one that my father left which had a table lamp and 2 ceiling hanging lamps. His had the initials EB in the metal and 1973 or 73 which is common in some of them. I am not sure if that means Ever Brite or not. Most of them had nothing to date or identify them. Some were made in the States, Canada, and especially Italy. One thing I loved about them is that they usually had a metal diffuser in the base of the lamp to diffuse the light in a most beautiful way. There was a huge import/export business trade in these lamps and many new businesses sprung up, especially when you see original bills. They also made tables to match and in Italy these pieces were quite elaborate. I have some examples online and they should show up underneath the loves on the left of your screen. You are lucky to have a name on yours as that helps greatly. I myself do not like the shade so I found a better shade he had. My father liked to bring home these pieces he found in the alley, such as lamps and some beautiful home stereo cabinets from the 60's to early 70's !~
The diffuser for the light was a metal tube with a lot of holes in it which did a fine job.

Thank you for your info. Are these collectable?
I believe they are collectable, exactly by who and where, I do not know. Is the metal work in metal over the base attached to the glass ?
