Please help me ID the designer of this lamp.
Here's a Complete album of photos of the lamp: http://imgur.com/a/RsS9O
I bought it at an antique shop and they told me it was a designer lamp that was inside a mansion that a university here in Mexico (Tec de Monterrey) raffled. They raffle high end multimillion dollar houses each year that always end up being sold by the winners (since it is expensive as hell to maintain them). I have no idea of the year, but I'm guessing 2000-2015.

Well hi.
Remove the pleated shade and show a picture of the plumbing. Does it have a pull chain on/off? or a cord switch? or a basic twist switch? One socket or two? Cloth covered cord or simple plastic? Is the metal bronze with a gold leaf overlay? or cheaper brass? Do you see any UL labels anywhere? And how heavy is the lamp? How deluxe is the finial? Does the lamp have a harp? or is the shade able to adjust with a thumb screw? What type of bulbs (bulb) are required? At a glance, I'd guess that it was probably one of a pair manufactured by a local lamp manufacturer for specific project. These types of lamps are seldom signed. The box pleated shade is correctly fitted in both size and slope...and I do like those pleats. Also is the base marble or granite? And are the "glass looking parts" glass or?
Best,
Aunt Mark
