Table lamp - Brass, Glass, Wood

A lantern-style table lamp representing a classic example of European decorative lighting in a rustic style. Key features and design • Materials: Crafted from a combination of solid wood (round base), brass (structure and ornamentation), and molded clear glass shaped to mimic the glass panes of vintage ship or street lanterns. • Style and origin: Typically, these are retro models inspired by traditional French and European lantern designs from the 1960s or 1970s. A built-in metal reflector (shield) is positioned behind the glass to direct light forward. • Decorative elements: Notable features include a decorative *fleur-de-lis* finial and an ornate brass thumbscrew on the left side, reminiscent of the historical height-adjustment mechanisms found on antique "student" lamps.
