What’s a good reference for antique lamps?

I’ve been given an antique lamp and want to have the wiring redone before I put it to use. Though not experts, the friends and family I’ve spoken to swear the lamp must be an antique, due to its design and material.

Before I leave it in the hands of a restoration shop I’d like to narrow down this lamp’s origin as much as possible on my own. Any good books or websites? - And any advice about what I should be wary of at an antique restoration shop would be helpful too. Thanks!
