Dennis Kranz Member Messages 260 May 17, 2011 #1 This is a pratice run on a much larger one. The larger one won't be the same shape but it will be Mesquite. 8 inchs tall by almost 4 wide. Antique oil finish. The shade will not be with this lamp. Hope you like it. Dennis

Jim C Bradley Member Messages 4,945 Location Oceanside, So. Calif. 5 mi. to the ocean May 19, 2011 #12 The lamp would really look good in a girl's bedroom. I can just picture it being used through childhood and then off to college. Enjoy, Jim
