Rich with hand-etched patterns, ranging from foliate scrolls to intricate geometric bands, the brass body showcases the artistry of traditional Indian metalwork, now elegantly repurposed as a functional lighting piece.

The aged brass surface boasts a warm, time-softened patina that brings out the depth of the etched design. It sits on a dark, polished wooden base and is topped with a crisp white linen shade, offering a harmonious blend of texture, tone, and form. The proportions are particularly graceful, making it a handsome accent for both traditional and eclectic spaces.

Professionally converted and newly wired for modern use, this lamp is as practical as it is decorative. Perfect on a console, side table, or as a singular statement piece! See less
