Its elongated silhouette recalls classical architectural forms, while the deeply modeled botanical details lend the piece the richness of carved giltwood or cast bronze.

The lamp retains its warm aged-bronze coloration, with darker tones settled naturally into the recesses and softly burnished highlights emphasizing the raised ribs, leaves, collars, and molded edges. The existing finish will be carefully cleaned and revived, with minor chips and areas of color loss sensitively repaired. The intention is to preserve its appealing vintage character rather than make the surface appear newly manufactured or uniformly refinished.

This version is paired with a generously scaled natural ivory linen shade. Its softly tapered drum profile provides an elegant counterpoint to the highly ornamented base while allowing the lamp’s sculptural form to remain the focal point. The neutral linen brings warmth and versatility, making the lamp equally suitable for a traditional bedroom, refined living room, library, entry console, or classically inspired office.

A new brass adjustable harp provides four selectable shade heights—7, 8, 9, or 10 inches—allowing the shade position to be tailored to the owner’s preference. It is shown set at approximately 9 inches for balanced proportions. A substantial round brass finial, featuring a 1-inch ball and measuring approximately 1.75 inches in total height, completes the presentation.

The lamp has a three-way switch, permitting multiple illumination levels when used with a compatible three-way bulb. Its original amber-toned electrical cord has been retained as an appealing vintage detail.

Approximate dimensions:

• Overall height at the illustrated 9-inch harp setting: 30 inches
• Base to harp: 19 inches
• Adjustable harp: 7, 8, 9, or 10 inches
• Base diameter: 7 inches
• Body from base to upper collar: 17 inches
• Shade: 12-inch top diameter × 16-inch bottom diameter × 11 inches high
• Ball finial: 1 inch in diameter × approximately 1.75 inches overall height

Please note that the completed overall height and exact shade position may vary slightly according to the selected harp setting.

This is a vintage composite lamp with a bronze-toned decorative finish. It is not represented as solid bronze. As with all thoughtfully preserved vintage lighting, subtle surface variation and minor evidence of age contribute to its authentic character. Electrical components should always be inspected periodically and used with an appropriate bulb.
