Fancy metal object what is it?

koolaidsmile · May 22, 2013

I have an idea in mind what it might possibly be but I wanted to get some opinions without bias! It is made of metal and prob weighs about 1lb. Aprox 5 inches tall x 4 inches wide. What do you think? Thanks for the help everyone on here is so helpful!! :-)

I have not the foggiest what that is, except I don't think it's part of an urn, but is no doubt the base to something.

This is a guess all night post.. Wish I really knew "What It Is"

It's pretty heavy and very solid

I thought roulette wheel as well but didn't see anything close. There are no attachment points I can see. That tells me it is held in place by gravity - therefore a lid or top. The casting is poor quality. :dontknow:

It looks to me that there are little hooks in the piece in the center maybe 3 hooks can see 2 for sure so I believe it hangs with chain from those hooks to another piece and it is the bottom of a chandelier just a guess though.

Looks like part of a light sconce to me.

koolaidsmile · May 26, 2013

What part of it looks like a sconce?

My bad I was thinking a top to a lantern style sconce then I saw the tabs so it would have to be a bottom now I'm thinking it's part of a chandelier

Oh no I wanted people's opinions and when someone sees it in a different way or has an idea about it I'm glad to hear it so thankyou very much!

Looks like the bottom piece to what I believe we called a "Swag Lamp" back in the late sixty's all rhe way through the 70's . The type that had a globe and a chaun to hide the cord , remember them ? They went good with crushed velvet furniture and long Shag carpet ... Or one of those Swag lamps that had oil raindrop's ... IMHO , Woodstock
