the warm gilded brass finish glows with restrained elegance, while the green verdigris patina that has developed naturally at the capital adds a layer of authentic age and character — a detail that serious collectors appreciate as evidence of genuine vintage provenance. Each face of the square base is adorned with a cast laurel wreath medallion, a classically french decorative motif associated with prestige and refinement.
compact yet commanding, this lamp sits beautifully on a bedside table, writing desk, or console, and works equally well as a single accent or as one of a pair in a more formal setting. The white pleated shade included gives an immediate sense of its presence when lit.
a new white shade is included — the original square shade is in poor condition but will also be sent along for reference.
