Lamp shade is rough and shows very minor chipping along the bottom rim. It will not cut you and is not very noticeable unless you look real close. The brass items are worn and show age from normal use. I recommend replacing the cord and light socket as both show age. This lamp I believe was originally an oil lamp that was converted to an electric lamp.
I believe it can be converted back to an oil lamp with the appropriate parts which seem to be available. The base glows brightly with a black light. I have done my best to describe and take pictures of this lamp.
