Distressed Finish Lamp Appraisal

Shabby Chic Style Column Table Lamp

This is a tall, slender table lamp featuring a classic column designs with a 'shabby chic' aesthetic. The base and central shaft are constructed from what appears to be cast resin or wood, finished in a heavily distressed off-white or cream paint. The lamp stands on a square, tiered base decorated with scrollwork and beaded molding. The shaft is long and thin, interrupted by turned decorative rings and topped with a petal-like leaf motif near the socket. It is paired with a white fabric bell-shaped shade that features subtle vertical ribbing or piping. The lamp is powered by a white electrical cord with a standard European/Australian style two-pin plug. In terms of condition, the piece shows intentional distressing to mimic age, including chipped paint and darker faux-patina in the recessed areas of the carvings. While some of the 'wear' is stylistic, there may be actual scuffs along the base edges. The shade appears to be in good functional condition without major staining or tears. The assembly is typical of late 20th to early 21st-century decorative home lighting, imitating French Provincial or Neo-Classical motifs. There are no visible maker's marks, but the craftsmanship suggests a mass-produced decorative item rather than a bespoke antique.
