Table Lamp with Scroll-Form Feet

Polished golden table lamp with a turned stem and three curled feet.

This brass table lamp with scroll-form feet is from Chicago, Illinois, the United States, and dates to the 20th century. Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc that takes a warm golden polish, and it has long been a standard metal for lamp bases. Close up, a tall lamp in bright yellow metal, with a column built from stacked turned knobs and rings that flare at the base. Three scrolled feet carry the weight. A small harness holds an empty bulb socket at the top. It is 7 inches wide, 7 deep and 31.5 high.

Gleams, stands tall, and is waiting on its shade.
