Paint stripper safe for pot metal?
#7

Yes, I have the lamp disassembled and I am stripping each piece separately; the picture is when I first received it last year. The lamp mount is plated, but the rest of the lamp was painted a bronze colour under the heavy coat of gold-ish paint. The lower grille area around the base looked like it was plated to match the top lamp mount, but once I took the lamp apart, I found that it was sprayed with a toned colour to approximate antique brass colour. 

Information is hard to find on these lamps. Actual pictures of each of the lamp models featured in the ads is almost impossible to find. I'm going to restore it based on the description in the ads, brochure, and what I found when I took it apart. 

I will take more pictures today!
