Porcelain Figurine Hanging Lamp

Description

My late mother was a world traveler, and I'm not sure where she might have picked this up.  It looks Italian or possibly French.  It's a hanging lamp comprised of 4 porcelain figurines.  They appear to be muses, as one is playing a lyre, one playing a flute, one sculpting a bust, and the other is writing verse on a tablet.  Vertical columns seperate the figurines from each other.  They are all facing outward.  There is a silk canopy in the center of the fixture above their heads which contains a very soft light.  The top and bottom of the fixture are adorned with a wreath of gold leaves.  It is appx. 24" in height, and 10-12" in diameter.  Ornate, yet tasteful and elegant.
