This is best described at a nightstand lamp for an image of your sweetheart or movie heart throb. The frame opens easily by a slide clip, which presently holds an early Valentine die-cut. The angled frame swivels for best viewing of the image to admire. Uses a clip on shade to bulb. Cute vintage fringe type shade would complete the look. Just under 14" height before a bulb and shade. Cord is modern with the correct look as what was original. From the 1920's. Only one I have ever seen and very cool.
