Early 20th Century French Neoclassical Painted and Shell Encrusted Lamp

A very solid well made cast metal French table lamp painted black and gold in a neo classical empire design. The main part of the lamp has at one time been encrusted in celadon green sea shells. I believe the French word is coquillage. Newly rewired with faux silk wrapped cord
