Description
This stunning large mid-century table lamp showcases an elegant design that beautifully marries vintage charm with contemporary flair. The lamp's body features an exagarated pear shaped silhouette that slopes abruptly to a form a wide bulbous form. It is crafted from reverse-painted glass in a striking burnt orange hue, that would complement a variety of interior design schemes.
Atop the lamp sits a whimsical gold-tone metal cherub, poised gracefully among intricately detailed foliage. The cherub, with a playful expression, is modestly draped with a delicate fabric that covers his thighs, adding a touch of softness to the metallic elements. In his arms, he cradles a cornucopia, symbolizing prosperity and abundance, which rests gently against his body and left cheek.
Crowning the lamp is a flared metal round piece adorned with a leaf design.
The base of the lamp is equally impressive, featuring an ornate fluted neck that transitions to a perforated, scrolled gold-tone metal design. Below is a square pedestal, also in gold tone, that boasts a repeating column design around the border, reinforcing the lamp's classical influences.
