Catalog Note:
This Charles Rohlfs lamp base bears a striking resemblance to Gustav Stickley's table lamp, #625 (illustrated). It is unclear whose design came first, but these similar designs show the connection and influence between Rohlfs and Stickley.
Condition Report: Original dark finish to base. Solder seam separation to one corner of bottom copper band. Silk lining on the shade is deteriorating, some minor losses to weave in areas. Socket cluster probably replaced, top cap missing.
