Description
A joyful, sculptural tole lamp with unmistakable European charm. This hand-painted metal table lamp features layered floral blooms in warm yellow, burnt orange, and soft ivory with leafy green stems rising from a tiered white base with golden yellow accents. The form feels distinctly Italian in spirit, likely mid-20th century, though it is unmarked.
The flowers and foliage create beautiful dimension at 10 inches across, giving this piece presence without overwhelming a space. It would be stunning on a bedside table, in a powder room, or layered into a collected living room vignette.

This lamp shows age-appropriate wear that adds to its vintage character. There is oxidation around the metal base and some loss to the white paint. Additional oxidation is visible on portions of the floral elements, stems, and leaves. The wiring is functional, and powers on.
