Description
Channeling the sun-drenched glamour and unapologetic luxury of classic coastal estates, this striking pair of faux coral table lamps is a maximalist designer's dream. The sculptural bases are beautifully cast to mimic the intricate, organic textures of natural marine coral reef branches, finished in a clean, chalky matte white that highlights every tactile nodule and crevice.
Elevating these coastal treasures into a realm of bespoke sophistication are the magnificent, custom-tailored pagoda-style shades. Draped in a deeply saturated, vibrant crimson red silk, the shades have been thoughtfully reimagined by our studio. We removed their previous beading and meticulously hand-applied an opulent, high-end passementerie trim, complete with a dense row of multi-tonal bullion tassels that add movement, weight, and an unmistakable sense of curated history. Crowned with clean white shell finials, these lamps offer a breathtaking play on texture and color. Picture them framing a gilt mirror on a faux bamboo console table, or casting an atmospheric, rosy glow over a chic Palm Beach Regency salon layered with leopard print and vibrant wallcoverings. For the interior designer or collector looking to inject a space with instant soul, theatrical scale, and high-style wit, this matched pair is an absolute triumph.

This striking pair of lamps has been thoughtfully refreshed by our studio. The sculptural, matte-white faux coral bases are structurally sound with no cracks or major structural flaws, displaying only light, minor surface wear consistent with age and gentle previous use.
The custom pagoda-style silk shades have been beautifully updated to enhance their luxury appeal. Our studio carefully removed the original beading and hand-applied an opulent, heavy passementerie tassel trim. While the shades may exhibit negligible, faint signs of handling or natural age inherent to vintage silk textiles, they present magnificently and are completely free of major stains, tears, or burns. Original wiring has been fully inspected and is in excellent, safe working condition. A beautifully curated, ready-to-style pair of lamps.
