The simple, pure, and restrained design of this pair of lamps is central  to their charm. Each lamp is mounted on a  brass metal base with dolphin feet. The onyx cylindrical posts are  pale green with some inclusions; the circular bases show characteristic light brown natural lines.There is a small chip on the rim of one of the shades but does not stand out. The socket is loose and may have to be replaced for a tighter & firmer hold. Around the holes are tiny cracks that maybe the result of boring but not  structural. The metal parts are tarnished. Both lamps overall are in  good condition. The height is app 12 3/4"; shade opening is 6 1/3"; cylinder post is 2 1/4" wide; circular base is 2 /14". Lamps are being sold AS IS.
