The lamp is very nice!

Yes, unless it's a petrol/oil lamp, old western style (sort of, rather
middle/end of last century style).

Given the expected weight of the base of the lamp, the lampshade
can probably be a little larger (but probably not too much taller)
without jeopardizing the equilibrum of the lamp. 
Now, there is this mass in the middle which may already prevent 
a bigger lampshade...

Would you put it on a small table or on the floor ?
It seems a little too tall for a table, and out of proportion to be
of use on the floor...
