Crafted in brass, the lamp stands on an elegant tripod base with gracefully curved legs. The central column and legs are all adorned with a naturalistic ornamentation that can be interpreted as both foliate and scale-like in form, creating a richly textured surface with a strong sculptural presence. This neoclassical-inspired piece is made of solid brass with a naturally developed patina and is of notably substantial quality.

The cylindrical shade is a custom design made in a pale cream Colefax & Fowler silk, allowing for a pleasant and soft light distribution.

The lamp is in good original condition with a natural patina to the brass. It has recently been rewired (220V). The shade has been renewed.
