Description from the seller

Stylish and decorative set of two matching table lamps in Empire style, crafted in an elegant combination of black and silver-toned metal. Through the classic design, graceful proportions and ornate ornaments, these lamps form a striking and atmospheric pair.

The lamps are built around a long black column, accented at the top and bottom by beautifully designed silver-colored elements. These elements have an architectural form that recalls classical capitals and columns.

The sturdy square bases are particularly beautifully executed. They consist of several progressively stepped levels and are edged with subtle decorative motifs. These details give the lamps a rich and stately appearance.

Also at the top of the black columns are graceful, geometrically shaped ornaments. The combination of black with the slightly matte silver finish provides a nice contrast and emphasizes the classical character.

Special lamp shades

Both lamps are fitted with elegant black lamp shades with a decorative relief pattern. In the surface is a graceful, organic motif with leaves and curling forms woven.

Depending on the light, this pattern is subtle or clearly visible. When the lamps are lit, the relief is further accentuated and a warm and atmospheric light emanates.

The inside of the shades also has a decorative look and reflects the light in a pleasant way.

Timeless Empire appeal

The design is clearly inspired by the classical Empire style, where symmetry, column shapes, geometric elements and stately proportions are central.

Due to this combination, the lamps have a luxurious and somewhat architectural appearance. They fit perfectly in a classic, neoclassical, eclectic or hotel-chic interior, but can also be used as a striking contrast in a modern interior.

As a pair, the lamps look particularly beautiful on a large sideboard, console table or on either side of a sofa or bed.
