Antique Murano Glass Lamp

Description

This beautiful lamp was just given to me by my 85 year old grandmother.  It was purchaed in Murano, Italy by her mother's cousin.  It appears to be in perfect shape, although the brass (copper?) is somewhat oxidized.  I suspect that the wires may not be original, but I'm not sure.

 We need to insure this, so I figured I'd see if anyone could provide info before I go to a formal appraiser.

 

Thanks.
