A sculptural vintage Hollywood Regency table lamp featuring a soft blush-pink glazed ceramic body with elegant spiral fluting and a warm wood collar accent beneath the brass hardware. Paired with a 17" linen drum shade, the lamp has balanced designer proportions and a refined Palm Beach aesthetic. In our studio it has affectionately been nicknamed the "Pink Panther Lamp," a playful nod to the iconic pink-hued pop culture style of the 1960s.

Full Description
This vintage Hollywood Regency table lamp showcases a beautifully sculptural ceramic form finished in a glossy blush-pink glaze. The body is defined by graceful spiral fluting that twists upward from the base, creating movement and depth in the ceramic surface. When illuminated, the gentle curves catch light beautifully, emphasizing the lamp's architectural character.

A particularly distinctive detail is the wooden collar positioned between the ceramic body and the brass socket hardware. This design element adds warmth and visual contrast while also highlighting the transition between the organic ceramic form and the polished metal hardware above. The combination of ceramic, wood, and brass gives the lamp a sophisticated layered look that is characteristic of decorative lighting from the late twentieth century.

The lamp is paired with a 17-inch off-white linen drum shade, carefully chosen to complement the proportions of the base and create a balanced silhouette. The natural linen texture softens the look while allowing the sculptural pink ceramic body to remain the focal point.

This lamp is fitted with a three-way rotary socket, allowing adjustable lighting levels to suit bedside reading, ambient lighting, or full illumination.

In our studio this lamp has become affectionately known as the "Pink Panther Lamp," a lighthearted homage to the playful pink aesthetic popularized during the 1960s era of the famous Pink Panther films and animated shorts. While not associated with the franchise itself, the nickname captures the lamp's cheerful color and glamorous mid-century inspired personality.

With its elegant spiral form, warm materials, and timeless color, this lamp works beautifully in a variety of interiors including Hollywood Regency, Palm Beach, coastal, glam, and transitional spaces.
