Traditional Fluted Urn Table Lamp with Bell Shade
Unbranded/Generic (Similar to Stiffel or Quoizel) · Art & Decor > Lighting
Era / Decade
1990s to early 2000s based on the cord type, faux bronze finish, and transitional design.
Material
Cast resin or composite metal with an antique bronze-style finish; fabric bell shade with braided trim; brass-finished finial and hardware.
Condition
Good. The lamp appears functional, but the finish shows age-related patina. The shade is intact without major collapses, though the trim may have slight fraying or dust accumulation.
Demand Level
Moderate. Traditional decor is steady but currently less 'trendy' than mid-century modern or boho styles. Best for local buyers looking for affordable home staging or replacement lighting.

Comparable Sales
Similar generic traditional lamps typically sell for $20-$40 on Facebook Marketplace. Higher-end brass versions (like Stiffel) sell for $75+, but this resin-style version sits at the lower market tier.
Description
Elegant traditional table lamp featuring a fluted urn-style base with a square pedestal and decorative feet. Finished in a warm antique bronze tone, it is topped with a cream-colored textured bell shade accented with braided rope trim. Includes a matching pointed finial. Standing approximately 24-28 inches tall, this lamp is perfect for traditional, transitional, or classic home decor styles.
Key Features
Classical fluted design, complete with matching shade and finial, versatile neutral color palette, sturdy footed base for stability.
Authenticity Indicators
Likely a mass-market decor piece. Look for stickers on the bottom or near the socket; the lack of a prominent maker's mark suggests a decor store brand (e.g., Target, HomeGoods, or Kirkland's style). Confidence: High.
Flaws to Note
Minor surface wear on the base finish, potential yellowing or dust on the shade interior/exterior, standard non-polarized cord may show age.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Facebook Marketplace or local consignment shops are ideal to avoid shipping fragile shades. If selling online, eBay is an option but shipping costs will be high due to box size.
Selling Tips
Take photos with the lamp both on and off to show light quality and functionality. Clean the base with a dry cloth and use a lint roller on the shade. Highlight 'Traditional' and 'French Country' as keywords.
