By bends down, I meant it swivels down where the uprights meet the base, so that the keys of your piano have some light.   The bases were very heavy as a counter balance.  Doesn't really change anything like the date or price.  GG

Oh, ok...no it doesn't bend down...the shade tilts a little but that's about it...thanks!

Thanks to all for their input.  The shade does tilt; I don't know if that's what you meant by 'bend down'.  There is no marking on the base or underneath it.  Initially I thought the base was brass but it could very well be bronze.

Thanks again!

Hi,

I'm looking for any information on this lamp.  It is at least 70 years old; probably older.  There are no visible markings, letters, numbers, etc. on it and the on/off switch is the paddle type.  There is a knob on the back of it that is used to swivel the lamp.  I was going to rewire it and use it in my office but it came from my Grandmother so I would like to find out a little more about it first.
