Classical Urn Style Table Lamp

This is a classical urn-style table lamp, likely designed for an accent or decorative purpose. The lamp features a fabric lampshade in an off-white or cream color, with vertical ribbing or paneling created by its construction, hinting at a drum or slightly tapered drum shape. The base of the lamp is prominently styled after a classical urn or trophy, characterized by its substantial size and ornate detailing. It appears to be constructed from a combination of materials, including what looks like dark, possibly black, marble or a faux stone material for the main body of the urn, contrasted with metallic elements that have an antique brass or bronze finish. These metallic components feature intricate scrolling handles on either side, a fluted column leading to the top, and a heavily decorated base with acanthus leaf or similar classical motifs, resting on four paw-like feet. The finish shows signs of an aged patina, consistent with either its actual age or an intentional aged aesthetic. The lamp sits on a round, reflective base, possibly mirrored, which in turn rests on a white crocheted doily, suggesting its placement on a side table. Visible condition issues include potential minor dust accumulation and some visible wear on the metallic finish, which contributes to its vintage appearance. The wiring is visible at the back, indicating it is an electric lamp. Its design suggests a manufacturing period or style from the mid-20th century to contemporary reproductions, aiming for a neoclassical or transitional aesthetic. The overall craftsmanship appears solid, with attention to decorative details, though the exact quality of materials (e.g., real marble vs. composite) would require closer inspection.
