Please Help! 4 bulb antique floor lap wiring

Note antique lamps were NOT built to todays safety standards some tip
over easy. that happened to a friend 125 thousand in home firee damage
caused by antique lamp tipping over.
If in doubt cut wire off lamp keep as momento buy new lamp for safety
I know the type he's talking about, they're huge and heavy, quite common
and somewhat valuable as well. If in doubt, put compact fluorescents in
it. I can't stand to see electrical things used strictly as decoration,
it's easy enough to make them work.
