I bought these with a new lamp harp I ordered and was very dissapointed in how cheap these feel and appear. I am guessing they are made of plastic and then painted, but I can't be certain. And the color was definately "off" from my lamp base. But it wasn't worth the cost of returning them. The shipping was not cheap and I was charged shipping for both the finial and harp which came together in the same packing envelope. The finial does not fit on the lamp with the replacement harp, so it just "sits" on top. If I had to do it over, I would definately select different finials or go to an actual store where I can see what I am purchasing.
