We picked up a pair a while back at antique store - looks like the same mold, different finsh. Ours are dark brown with a goldish dry brush and matte finish. They have a few chips, but one of these days I'll get around to at least painting over them. I was so excited when I saw these at the store! I gasped so loud when I walked around the corner my hubby thought I hurt myself :) Here's a pic of the lamps and the shades they came with which were supposedly original. They are a 2 layer shade with an off white inner shade that looks like a thick rice paper or maybe vellum. The outer shade is woven.
