The lamp is constructed from molded composite material and retains its original antiqued silver-gilt finish, accented with warm champagne-gold highlights, softly rubbed surfaces and darkened recesses that emphasize the sculptural ornamentation.

The substantial four-footed base is embellished with deeply molded scrollwork and supports a tiered pedestal with an urn-shaped central element. A decorative foliate band encircles the urn, while the long, narrow column displays a subtle twisted texture. Additional sculpted collars and architectural transitions give the lamp visual interest from top to bottom without compromising its graceful proportions.

Completing the design is the lamp’s especially grand original finial, an impressive three-inch sculptural element decorated with deeply modeled foliate motifs. The lamp retains its warm amber-colored electrical cord and brass-tone harp and hardware.

The original finish has been carefully cleaned and gently polished to revive its metallic highlights while preserving its authentic age variation and patina. It has not been stripped or repainted. The result is a wonderfully layered silver-and-gold surface that feels collected, elegant and appropriate to the lamp’s vintage character.

The lamp is presented with a new warm ivory linen drum shade measuring 16 inches across both the top and bottom and approximately 10 inches tall. Its generous straight-sided profile gives the narrow lamp base a bold, balanced designer silhouette. When illuminated, the natural linen produces a soft, warm glow suitable for a living room, bedroom, library, entryway or sophisticated reading corner.

Its marked Berman attribution, original sculptural finial, dramatic proportions and preserved vintage finish make this a distinctive decorative lighting piece. The lamp works particularly well in Traditional, Neoclassical, Florentine, Italianate, Hollywood Regency, Old World and transitional interiors.
