The formal symmetry and deeply modeled botanical details evoke classical European architecture, while the richly layered coloration gives the lamp warmth, depth, and exceptional decorative presence.

The lamp retains its warm aged-bronze coloration, with deep brown tones settled naturally into the recesses and softly burnished highlights emphasizing the vertical ribs, layered leaves, classical collars, and raised molding. The existing finish has been carefully cleaned and revived. Minor chips and areas of color loss have been sensitively repaired while preserving the tonal movement and authentic character expected of a vintage decorative piece.

For this Peacock Salon presentation, the lamp is paired with a rich peacock-teal satin shade. Its gently tapered drum silhouette provides a tailored counterpoint to the highly ornamented body, while the saturated jewel tone creates a striking relationship with the warm bronze finish. When illuminated, the shade develops a subtle inner glow while retaining its deep teal-blue exterior. Fine silver-colored trim gives the shade a crisp, beautifully finished edge.

Bold without becoming whimsical, this version is particularly well suited to a Hollywood Regency living room, jewel-box library, maximalist bedroom, sophisticated entry, or layered traditional interior. The peacock coloration introduces drama while remaining remarkably versatile alongside walnut, mahogany, brass, camel, oxblood, cream, plum, and deep green furnishings.

A new brass adjustable harp provides four selectable shade heights—7, 8, 9, or 10 inches—allowing the position of the shade to be tailored to the owner’s preference. It is intended to be set at approximately 9 inches for this shade, concealing the socket while leaving the decorative upper collar visible. 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: 14-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 shade position 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 surface variation, light 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.
