Vintage Hollywood Regency polished brass urn table lamp with original black shade featuring a gold-lined interior. Elegant sculptural form with warm aged patina, original felt base, and period-correct rotary socket switch. From the Elaine R. Estate. Excellent vintage condition. Circa late 1970s–1980s.

This striking Hollywood Regency table lamp features a sculptural urn-form silhouette executed in polished brass, offering refined proportions and strong architectural presence. The lamp's form and finish give it a glamorous yet timeless character, making it an ideal statement piece for a console, buffet, or side table.

The lamp retains its original black fabric shade with metallic gold interior, a highly desirable and increasingly uncommon feature. The gold lining is beautifully preserved and casts a warm, reflective glow when illuminated, enhancing both ambiance and visual depth. The exterior shade fabric remains in very good vintage condition; one seam shows minor separation at the rear where the fabric meets, consistent with age and discreet when oriented toward the back (see detail photo).

The polished brass body displays a warm, even patina consistent with careful vintage use. The lamp retains its original felt on the underside of the base, intact and in excellent condition, indicating minimal surface wear and thoughtful past care.

The lamp is operated by a rotary socket switch located at the bulb socket, consistent with quality lamps of the period. A matching gold-plated rotary switch knob has been installed so the lamp presents complete and fully functional. The original cord remains present and in excellent vintage condition.

This lamp was sourced from the Elaine R. Estate, a well-maintained private collection, and has been gently cleaned while preserving original finishes and character.
