Since I brought this lamp home it has grown on me so much. I was walking around my own home looking for a place to use it. But alas, as a treasure hunter who adores pretty things I seem to have amassed quite a few! This sculptural piece is really pretty and it's gorgeous lit up. Heavy and beautifully made, this would look great in almost any home. The shade is 16 across, the base is 12 inches across.
