Its architectural silhouette draws from classical European design, while the richly modeled botanical details give the lamp the visual depth and presence of carved giltwood or antique cast bronze.

The lamp retains its warm aged-bronze coloration, with deep brown undertones settled into the recesses and softly burnished highlights emphasizing the raised leaves, vertical ribs, collars, and molded edges. The original surface has been carefully cleaned and revived. Minor chips and areas of color loss have been sensitively repaired while retaining the subtle tonal movement and character expected of a vintage decorative piece.

For this Regency Noir presentation, the lamp is crowned with a black parchment shade lined in reflective gold. The restrained tapered profile gives the slender classical body greater visual weight, while the gold interior casts a warm, atmospheric glow and echoes the softly burnished highlights of the bronze-toned finish. The result is elegant, moody, and exceptionally versatile—a natural choice for a library, formal living room, dramatic bedroom, entry console, or richly layered designer interior.

A new brass adjustable harp offers 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 ball finial, measuring approximately 1 inch in diameter and 1.75 inches in total height, completes the presentation.

The lamp features a functional three-way switch, providing 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: 13-inch top diameter × 16-inch bottom diameter × 11 inches high
• Ball finial: 1 inch in diameter × approximately 1.75 inches overall height

The completed overall height and exact position of the shade may vary slightly according to the selected harp setting.

This is a vintage composite lamp with a decorative bronze-toned finish and is not represented as solid bronze. Subtle finish variation, light surface wear, and minor character marks remain consistent with age and contribute to its authentic appearance. As with all vintage lighting, periodic inspection of the electrical components and use with an appropriate bulb are recommended.
