Material
Cast resin or pot metal base with a faux-bronze/oil-rubbed finish; pressed metal shade with a brushed gold-tone interior; plastic electrical components and metal pull chains.
Condition
Good to Very Good. The lamp appears functional with intact pull chains. There is visible dust accumulation and minor surface oxidation/pitting on the metal shade rim, which is common for this type of decor.
Demand Level
Moderate. Traditional decor is steady, though the specific 'heavy bronze' look is currently less trendy than mid-century modern or boho styles.

Description
This traditional-style table lamp features a heavy, ornate base with acanthus leaf motifs and a unique tripod neck. It is topped with a wide, scalloped metal shade that provides a warm, downward glow, perfect for a desk or side table. The lamp includes double pull-chain switches with decorative finial pulls and is crowned with a classic fleur-de-lis finial. Finished in a dark bronze with gold-tone highlighting.
Key Features
Double pull-chain functionality allows for adjustable lighting levels; the metal shade is more durable than fabric; classic European-inspired aesthetic fits traditional, office, or 'dark academia' decor styles.
Authenticity Indicators
Mass-produced item with high availability; lack of artist signature or foundry mark indicates retail decor status. Confidence: High (for a modern reproduction style).
Flaws to Note
Minor finish wear and dust in crevices; possible light scratches on the shade exterior; base underside felt may be worn or missing.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Facebook Marketplace or a local consignment shop. Due to the weight and fragility of the metal shade, shipping costs on eBay or Mercari may exceed the item's value.
Selling Tips
Photograph the lamp both lit and unlit to show the glow of the metal shade. Clean deep into the ornate base crevices with a soft brush. Use keywords like 'Dark Academia', 'Executive Desk Lamp', and 'Traditional Fleur-de-lis'.
