Riga Buffet Lamp

The base is a polished disc with a little crystal rising out of it, as a mirror gives back a candle.

The Riga buffet lamp is made of crystal, polished nickel and linen. Buffet lamps are tall and narrow, meant to stand at the back of a sideboard and light the table without crowding it. A clear crystal stem rises from a flat, round, polished nickel foot, joined by a bright nickel collar at the top. The linen shade is a creamy drum, gently tapered. Its lines are quiet and tall. It is 33 inches high and 10 in diameter.

Slender enough to vanish into a corner, if the corner allows.
