This vintage lamp was made from a beautiful brass oil can. What is truly special about it, however, is the old shade, which portrays an elegant, detailed hunting scene with carriages, ladies & gents in Empire style clothing, trees, horses, running hounds, and more. I don't know how this scene was applied--my best guess is it was printed on each section, then hand tinted (red and white have been applied). It has a wonderful yellowish-brownish patina, and is 6 sided. The joiners of the panels were covered with a gold paper; some of this is missing. There are also gold paper strips applied decoratively at the bottom and the top of the shade. The light fitting on the shade is brass; it clips around a bulb. The brass oil can part is a rich dark hue. The base is made of cast iron and has "E11" and two other letters or numbers I can't make out. It has the old cloth bound GE cord (outer cloth is worn in places, inner cloth is not) with the original cardboard piece around the brass prongs that says 15 cents.
