A beautifully proportioned gilded brass column table lamp of quiet architectural authority, combining the essential vocabulary of neoclassical and louis xvi design — fluted column shaft, ornate foliate capital, stepped square pedestal, and delicate laurel wreath relief panels — into a single, refined object. the warm gilded brass finish glows with restrained elegance, while the green verdigris patina that has developed naturally at the capital adds a layer of authentic age and character — a detail that serious collectors appreciate as evidence of genuine vintage provenance. Each face of the square base is adorned with a cast laurel wreath medallion, a classically french decorative motif associated with prestige and refinement. compact yet commanding, this lamp sits beautifully on a bedside table, writing desk, or console, and works equally well as a single accent or as one of a pair in a more formal setting. The white pleated shade included gives an immediate sense of its presence when lit. a new white shade is included — the original square shade is in poor condition but will also be sent along for reference. available with eu, uk, or us plug — please specify at time of purchase. height: 47 cm | width: 25 cm material: gilded brass style: neoclassical / louis xvi origin: europe period: 1930s condition: good vintage condition with natural patina and light wear consistent with age european plug (up to 250v).the wiring of this item may be original and might need replacement, if not specified otherwise.
