Candlestick Style, Greek Key Tri-foot Lamp

Greek keys at the feet, a flame-shaped finial at the top, and a long fluted neck in between.

This candlestick style Greek key tri-foot lamp dates to the 20th C. and is made of wood. Lamps modeled on tall church and altar candlesticks have been a staple of classical decorating for generations, lending height and a certain ceremony to a room. A turned and fluted column rises from a triangular plinth on three scrolled feet, each cut with a key-fret pattern and capped with small balls. The dark finish is highlighted with silvery gilt along the carving. A bell-shaped cream shade crowns the top. It is 10.5 inches long, 9.5 deep and 46 high.

A candlestick that has quietly upgraded to electricity.
