Table Decor Urn Appraisal

Neoclassical Urn-Style Table Lamp with Fabric Shade

This is a decorative table lamp featuring an urn-shaped base with prominent neoclassical design elements. The base appears to be constructed from a combination of materials, likely cast metal or resin with a metallic finish, and a dark, possibly marbleized or painted, central section. The metallic portions exhibit an antique brass or bronze-like finish, showing some slight patina or darkening in recessed areas, contributing to an aged aesthetic. Notable features include elaborate, scrolled handles on either side of the urn's upper body, fluted or acanthus-leaf motifs at the base of the urn, and intricate banding with embossed patterns around the top and bottom sections of the metallic elements. The central dark section of the urn provides a stark contrast to the metallic accents, enhancing its visual appeal. The lamp rests on a circular, stepped base, which itself sits on a mirrored plate, suggesting a possible intention to enhance its presence or protect the surface it rests upon. The lamp is topped with a cream or off-white fabric drum shade, featuring vertical seams visible along its sides, indicating a structured construction. The shade appears to be in good condition, without any obvious tears or significant discoloration. The overall style suggests an influence from classical antiquity and neoclassical revival periods, possibly dating from the mid-20th century or later, designed to mimic older aesthetics. There are no clear manufacturer's marks visible in the provided image. The electrical cord is visible, indicating it is a functional electric lamp. The craftsmanship appears to be of moderate to good quality, with decorative elements that are well-defined.
