[DIY] Lamp Repair

Bought a beautiful, ornate lamp, circa 1930 with all the original pieces.  The base is cast iron and I think the vertical portion is brass over another metal - not cast iron.   I had it in a box with some other items I was going to take to our antique booth and DH decided to back the car out - without realizing the box was there.  The lamp was broken just above the base and the bead is bent. I think it will have to be straightened before the two pieces can be welded together --- if welding is the correct method of repair.  No way could we DIY the repair and I don't even know who to call in regards to repairing it.  The value of the lamp is lost but I'd like to have it repaired to have in the house.
