Table Lamp in Hollywood Regency Style

Gold-toned, urn-shaped, and unabashedly formal.

Chicago, Illinois, is where this Hollywood Regency style table lamp was made in brass in the 20th century. Lamps in this style are commonly associated with polished metal and classical shapes. A broad circular base supports a turned urn-shaped body with a rounded belly, a slender neck and a ball finial. The brass surface carries a gentle glow, with soft reflections from the curves.

About as formal as a lamp gets. It likes a dark corner and a crisp shade. Gleams at dusk, and looks best on a console beside a mirror.
