Scored a beautiful vintage 70s horn and solid wood lamp

Bought it for 50 euros on Wallapop, a Spanish second hand app. Took the second photo on their house (they were doing renovations).

It belonged to a family member of the seller, who can’t give me a date for it but remembers it being around 50 years ago. It has a few nicks but is in otherwise good condition, double checked the wiring.

It’s quite short for a floor lamp (90 cm) and I might need it up on a plinth or something because I wanted a reading nook nearby lol. With it being made of horn I wonder if they couldn’t make it taller? But if it’s all horn in one piece I wonder which animal it came from. I’m so glad more aren‘t being made these days, because I despise the practice of hunting wild animals just for decorative purpose, but I can’t deny it IS pretty.
