At 46.5 inches overall, the lamp has exceptional vertical presence, with an open architectural column of scrolling metal vines, leaves and flowers punctuated by suspended clear crystal elements.

The decorative structure is formed from gilt-tone metal or tole arranged as twisting foliate growth around the central lamp column. Applied floral ornament and clear crystal prisms introduce light and movement throughout the composition, while the circular gilt-metal base provides visual and physical stability. The lamp weighs a substantial 11.8 lb and measures approximately 35 inches to the top of the decorative lamp body before the upper electrical fittings.

The supplied research identifies the model with The Marbro Lamp Company, a Los Angeles lighting firm known for incorporating imported Italian decorative components into luxury lamps. The Italian attribution therefore applies to the decorative components rather than to the entire assembled lamp. The form is consistent with Marbro production of the 1950s–1960s and sits comfortably within the Hollywood Regency tradition, with Rococo influence visible in the scrolling floral metalwork.
