The filigree here is taped on, not yet soldered on. It was tough going, but I managed to solder them on successfully. The trick is to finish the lamp completely, that is clean it up, patina it and rub finishing compound on to the entire lamp, then you can work on the pieces of the filigree. I did the same to the filigree. I then didn't edge them all on, instead I tack soldered the corners, then I cleaned up the lamp again, applied patina and re-buffed it up.
I think there may be an easier way to do this, but I'm not too sure!
