mother and child lamp (Summertown OX2)

We bought this quite a while ago, then changed the front room lighting and didn't use it. When I took the photo I tried it to see if it worked and it didn't - but it might be a fuse in the switch or a loose connection ... I am not at all competent with wires ... It could be worth taking if you are happy to fiddle with the electrics/plug/bulbs. It is 1m80cm high and the base (widest bit) is 27cm.
