The shoulder narrows into a short, cylindrical neck topped by a small collar, which rises to a polished brass socket with a turn knob and harp holder. The surface is covered in a dense, hammered-style texture of tiny overlapping rings and dimples that catch the light and cast soft, shifting shadows. The finish shows layered tones of verdigris green, sage, and moss, with darker olive-brown undertones showing through in the recesses, much like an aged bronze patina. Fine horizontal tool lines run across the shoulder, adding a hand-worked quality. A soft sheen on the upper body contrasts with the more matte, earthy lower half. The body rests on a thick, round plinth in smooth, dark-stained wood with a polished finish, which grounds the form and gives it a crisp, tailored base. The mix of weathered green texture and clean dark wood gives the lamp a bold, collected presence with quiet sophistication.

Substantial yet versatile, this lamp suits a console, sideboard, bedside table, entry table, or library desk, where its sculptural form and color add depth. It complements Mid-Century Modern, Organic Modern, Hollywood Regency, Eclectic, and Japandi interiors. The lamp measures 10.75 inches wide, 10.75 inches deep, and 18.75 inches high, to the top of the socket and without a shade. Condition is very good: the metal shows a consistent patina with minor surface wear, and the wood base is intact. For care, dust with a soft dry cloth, wipe the patina gently with a barely damp cloth, and avoid abrasive or metal cleaners. Rewiring or electrical testing is recommended before use, and a shade is not included. Inquire today to secure this textural statement piece. See less
