Patina is the perfect touch for the relaxed but not rustic look. This lamp lit the rooms in the south of France for many years before making it way here in the states just last month. We have converted it to US current. The style is simple in its self, some might say it's faux bamboo, call it what you like but it is pure handsome, let it lighten a corner or the end of the couch. It is fitted with a slender 11" parchment shade in butter cream, that is included. If a pair is needed I have a mate to this that is a inch shorter in height. Contact support for price to buy both.
