Brass Traditional Style Table Lamp with Fabric Shade

This is a decorative table lamp featuring a classic, somewhat neoclassical or Neoclassical Revival style. The lamp stands on a square, dark-colored base, possibly made of wood or a dark composite material with a distressed finish, exhibiting some scuffs and wear on its edges. The lamp's body is a vase-shaped column, primarily in a brass or brass-tone finish, suggesting a substantial metal construction, possibly cast. It appears to have a fluted or reeded upper section and a lower section adorned with ornate acanthus leaf or similar botanical motifs. The golden finish shows signs of age, including a noticeable patina, some darkening in recessed areas, and possible minor discoloration or oxidation, contributing to an aged aesthetic rather than pristine newness. A beige or off-white fabric lampshade, likely conical or empire-shaped, tops the lamp. The shade is visibly clean and appears to be in good condition, without major tears or stains, though its exact material (silk, linen, synthetic blend) is not discernible. The lamp assembly includes a standard electrical cord, which is partially visible coiled around the base of the lamp's neck. There are no visible maker's marks or identifying stamps on the exterior. The overall condition suggests a well-used but maintained functional decorative piece, likely from the mid-to-late 20th century due to its traditional design and common materials.
