Gable Table Lamp

Cobalt blossoms climb all the way round and show no sign of stopping at the shoulder.

The Gable Table Lamp is by Ralph Lauren, in white porcelain with a white paper shade. Blue-and-white decoration on a baluster jar borrows from Chinese export porcelain, which European and American households have collected for centuries. Flowering branches wind over the body in deep blue, with a narrow patterned band at the neck. The jar sits on a round gilt base, with a matching gilt collar under a wide, flared shade. It stands 39 inches high, with a shade 25 inches across, and takes a 3-way socket.

A garden that prefers to live in the library.
