The base presents a seated mermaid figure with a smooth, idealized torso and a serpentine tail wrapped around a textured, tortoise-shell element that serves as a small cachepot. The socket extends dramatically from the figure’s high-piled, swirling hair, making the entire piece a unified sculpture. Finished in a matte white ceramic or plaster, the absence of color emphasizes the lamp’s elegant, flowing form and texture.

This sculptural lamp is a perfect choice for bringing whimsical elegance and dramatic light to a nightstand, vanity, or console table. Standing a significant 26.5 inches tall, with a base footprint of 13.75 inches wide and 14.25 inches deep, it makes an excellent statement piece. The lamp is in excellent vintage condition, exhibiting minimal scuffs and wear consistent with age, allowing the elegant, unadorned white patina to shine. This unique piece of figurative lighting is a highly desirable accent for a glam or coastal-themed interior. See less
