Candlestick Style, Greek Key Tri-foot Lamp

Three key-fret feet hold up a slim fluted column, as if a classical temple had been told to diet.

This candlestick style Greek key tri-foot lamp is wood and dates to the 20th C. Floor and table lamps based on the ecclesiastical candlestick have long suited traditional interiors that call for height without bulk. This one rises from a triangular base on three scrolled supports, each cut with a Greek key and topped with a small ball. The tall column is turned, fluted and wrapped in a leafy collar, finished in dark brown with silvery highlights. A cream bell shade and a pointed finial complete it. It is 10.5 inches long, 9.5 deep and 46 high.

Classical bones, modern wiring, no complaints.
