The shade rests on an original Handel cast bronze base depicting a mermaid holding a giant clamshell on her shoulder, supporting the ribbed stem that leads to a three-socket cluster and fleur-dis-les cap. Base is finished in a rich red/brown patina with subtle green highlights. Shade signed “HANDEL 6807”, base unsigned. Shade and base very good to excellent.
