The details on the front looked ok, but it was the iridescence of whatever it was plated with that gave it away to me. I have never seen a real one that had that kind of "patina" .

This "bluing" as a result of artificial patina must be the "in" thing among fakers right now. I purchased a reproduction lamp a couple of months ago, and it exhibited this same fake ageing after-effect-looks like the result of an acid bath.
