At first it looks like a bronze base, but it is white metal covered with a bronze or bronze-like coating. It is 9" from the base to the top of the socket. I can discern no marks on it.

From the sockets it looks real to me. I can't enlarge the pics for some reason for a closer look. Art Deco was reproduced beginning in the 70s. It looks older than that. Not a very good example though. Late in the era and mass produced.

What do you need a close-up of?

I am with Frogpatch,, look OK to me !! Many items were white metal for decorative use !! Just painted to look like bronze !!

My only concern is that the stem up to the light is a different color. In earlier lamps they worked to make the lamps look more eye appealing and match up the coloring. The threaded pipe on this one is regular piping. So, I wouldn't think it to be too old (meaning earlier than 70's).

That is a good point KC. Regardless, I would say the value would be around the 25.00 range in my area. I used to find so much Art Deco around here.
