It is really hard to tell from the picture but my feeling is that it is a Chinese interpretation of an art deco lamp. The glass looks a lot like the blown art glass that has flooded the market in the US but a lot bigger. I am having trouble scaling the size. Are those giant blinds or tiny globes? The other items in the picture look like Chinese repros also. It could be an Italian lamp or even a Frankart piece. Without seeing the wiring or details it is hard to say.

Second thoughts here. I wish the picture was clearer but the glass looks a lot like Loetz pieces I have seen. It looks a lot duller but that may be the picture. Loetz pieces are often not signed. I had one once and I am still kisking myself for selling it. Mine was iridescent blue. Look at this glass and tell me what you think. http://theantiquetraders.com/lotez-table-lamp/

Without getting more information - my impression is that is a modern lamp.

Hi everyone, my first thought was it was made to look old. Lamp for the Conehead family!
