The body is a vintage style tin caramel toffee can. I purchased this in Sunriver at a home store back when red was a main component in my home decor. It really is charming specially with the red shade. This is the type of lamp that’s not meant to shed a whole lot of light, it’s really for ambience. It’s only 19 inches tall so it’s a pretty flexible piece in that it would be good in a entry or anywhere you wanna add a little bit of personality. I collect lamps and pillows but it’s time for someone else to enjoy this piece
