The top of the shade has another gold netting which is strewn with more of the colorful floral appliqués.The shade has long hand beaded fringe in matching tones that include vintage white long beads. A bespoke jeweled pull-chain illuminates the lamp. The hand painted antique finial featuring flying birds tops the piece!This lamp is part of my 'Tail of the Yak' series that is inspired by my very favorite store in the world - Tail of the Yak in Berkeley, California. Owned jointly bt Alice Erb and Lauren McIntosh whose visual genius and unique sensibility created a beloved store that once you stepped into it was hard to forget. The juxtaposition of the beautiful, unusual and strange objects, thoughtfully gathered and artfully displayed created a magical alchemy of the exquisite and the unexpected. The Bianca & Zephyr lamp is named after the store's two white doves who lived in an antique cage in the back of the store and could be heard gently cooing. Established in 1972, the store recently closed after 51 years.Overall height is 66 inches to the top of the finial. Shade dimensions are approximately 19 X 15 inches." ***The Bianca & Zephhyr Floor Lamp, a unique piece from my private collection, is in excellent and pristine condition, ready to add a touch of elegance to your home. I am downsizing all my collections, starting with my extraordinary lamps. As you can imagine, this process is complicated because all the treasures I have collected over many years are "my favorites"! I can't stand for any of them to be locked up in temperature-controlled storage, so I am listing them for purchase so that they can be loved and cherished by someone new. Maybe that's you! Be sure to bookmark me as a "favorite seller" so you won't miss out on a chance to find an outstanding, whimsical treasure. Good luck, and I hope you enjoy! !!!SHIPPING!!! Please note that shipping will be a flat $400. I will take utmost care in professionally packaging your lamp in 2 boxes (base/parts and shade), most likely double-boxed, to ensure it safely survives the journey to your home. The lamp will be insured for the total value, providing you with peace of mind. I will refund you the difference if the shipping is less than $400.
