Each lamp is crowned by a smooth alabaster sphere with a subtle seam at its equator. The stone glows in soft peach, honey, and cream, with cloudy veining and translucence that diffuse light warmly when lit. A small turned brass cap and ball finial top each globe, which sits within a shallow brass collar. Below, a slender, gently tapering stem flows into a wide, dish-like drip tray reminiscent of a classical temple candlestick. A baluster-shaped section leads to a tripod of splayed legs that end in curled, scrolled feet, and a twisted cord is visible between the legs. The legs rest on a stepped, circular brass plinth with a layered profile, and each lamp is grounded by a matte black wooden base. The brass carries a deep, burnished patina in antique gold and bronze, with darker tones gathering in the recesses and mellow variation across the surface. Gentle tarnishing and surface wear add authenticity and depth.

Standing over two feet tall, these lamps suit a console, buffet, mantel, dresser, or a pair of bedside tables, where their vertical lines draw the eye upward. They complement Hollywood Regency, Chinoiserie, Neoclassical, Traditional, and Mid-Century Modern interiors. Each lamp measures 8.5 inches in width, 8.5 inches in depth, and 28.25 inches in height. Condition is very good: the original finish shows minor surface wear and light tarnishing, and the globes appear intact with no visible cracks or chips. For care, dust with a soft dry cloth, polish the brass sparingly with a gentle metal cleaner if a brighter finish is desired, and wipe the alabaster with a barely damp cloth, avoiding acidic cleaners.
