Very unique and artistic pair of lamps in the shape of large urns fashioned out of open work sections of faux bamboo. Gold finish with touches of gold leaf here and there for extra shimmer. These lamps are heavy so will be packed separately in two boxes. Three way brass switches. The finials are fantastic and very interesting. I am not positive what they are made of, I suspect some sort of pottery or stoneware because of the weight. Possibly a composite material of some sort. They are beautiful quality pieces and would look great with traditional white shades or how about black shades with gold interior linings?
