1950s Mid-Century Brass Ginger Jar Table Lamp on Wood Base, Circa 1950s

Description

A substantial mid-century brass table lamp in classic ginger-jar form, dating to the 1950s. The hand-formed brass body shows visible seams and a richly aged, untouched patina with warm tonal variation. Mounted on a shaped wooden base, the lamp has excellent scale and presence, standing 31 inches tall to the finial. In working order. A handsome, character-rich accent well suited to traditional, English-country, or collected interiors.
