Re: please help me find thses lamps cheaper
are you crafty? those would be so easy to make..
a can of textured silver spray paint or you can silver leaf it (this will take more time; personally I'd just spray paint it) and get a yard or two of burlap fabric use spray adhesive and glue onto a lamp shade..

Those look "antique" silver. She would have to have a tarnish agent to "age" the silver leaf

They call it mercury glass and apparently mercury glass seems to be expensive. I went to 3 different homegoods looking for lamps and was unsuccessful.

nah, actually the stuff they have out now would make it look very similar..
you can do as the other posted above or you can use different colored spray paints and distress to get that look.
it's def doable..
