Description from the seller
A particularly decorative vintage table lamp with an elegant combination of deep black and gold/brass-colored accents. The lamp features a distinctly classic design and strongly evokes the luxurious Hollywood Regency and Mid-Century styles, blending dark surfaces with glossy metal details.
The base is built around a slim, vase-shaped black body. Across the black surface run several narrow gold-colored lines that follow the contours of the lamp. This vertical detailing emphasizes the elegant form and gives the lamp a refined, almost architectural appearance. Shiny gold/brass-colored elements are present at both the top and the base.
The round metal foot has a polished finish and provides a beautiful contrast to the matte/dark-finished middle section. Because of the combination of black and gold, the lamp has a highly decorative look both when turned off and when illuminated.
The lamp is sold complete with the light-colored fabric lampshade shown in the photos. The shade has a classic tapered shape and is finished with a dark/gold-edged trim along the top and bottom edges. When the lamp is lit, the shade emits a pleasant, warm light, which makes the gold details of the base stand out even more.
The lamp is equipped with an electrical cord with an inline switch, making it easy to operate. The detail photos also clearly show the fitting, shade construction, base, and decorative finish.
Condition
The lamp is in good vintage condition for its age, with normal signs of use and wear. The gold/brass-colored parts show occasional light scratches, signs of wear, and some patina. The shade also shows light wear consistent with age and use. These are depicted as clearly as possible in the detail photos.
The lamp is pictured as working during the photography.
