The fixture features a large-scale, high-gloss white ceramic figure of a monkey seated in a meditative or elevated pose, dramatically adorned with a sculpted turban and detailed, flowing robes, suggesting an exotic or revered status. The pristine white glaze catches the light beautifully, highlighting the texture and detail of the ceramic work. The figure is grounded on a clear Lucite or acrylic base, which gives the substantial ceramic piece a floating quality, finished expertly with polished brass hardware.

As a statement piece, this lamp instantly injects personality and eclectic glamour into a living room, library, or entrance hall. Its height and commanding presence make it ideal for drawing the eye in any luxurious space. The lamp measures 11.25 inches wide, 9 inches deep, and stands an impressive 30 inches tall (to the top of the socket). It is offered in great vintage condition, fully functional, with minor signs of age-appropriate wear and slight patina on the brass elements, adding authenticity to this whimsical and elegant decorative art object.
