Antique Cast Iron Lamp Base and Top with Socket and Wiring Components

Description :
This partial antique lamp assembly features a decorative cast iron base paired with a matching cast top, both showcasing an embossed flame motif in a hexagonal layout. The base, measuring 8 ½" wide by 7" tall, would have originally supported a vertical rod or stem, while the top—smaller in scale—was likely the upper mount where the light fixture or shade attached. Also included are vintage components such as a ceramic socket and cloth-wrapped wiring, all in unrestored condition. This set offers an excellent foundation for restoration or use in custom lighting builds.
