This lamp stands 11" tall. The center tripods are made of iron and the shade of steel or thick tin.  Back in the early 1990's when I was living in Arizona we went to a sale at the Wigwam resort because they were doing a remodel. This is a table lamp that we purchased along with rolls of carpeting (which is long gone.) I was always going to strip this and repaint it but never did so I'm passing it on. Thanks!
