ART NOUVEAU LAMP FROM VICKSBURG'S PAST

This gorgeous old lamp once resided in the lobby of the Carroll Hotel. It interested me because the Carroll was located directly across the street from where I now live. The lamp is of heavy brass and features a "halo" of flowers and tiny bulbs that surround the nearly-nude body of the buxom young lady. It's one of my favorite pieces; I consider myself fortunate to have made its purchase.
