Vintage Neoclassical Style Table Lamp with Black and Cream Striped Shade

This is a vintage table lamp featuring a Neoclassical or Empire style base and a distinctive striped bell-shaped shade. The lamp stands on a square wooden base, likely stained a dark brown or mahogany color, which shows some visible wear and minor edge scuffs consistent with age and use. Resting on the wooden base is a tiered brass or brass-plated metal foot, which transitions into a tapered wooden column. This column is a rich reddish-brown wood, possibly mahogany or cherry, and features a decorative band in the mid-section composed of what appears to be a darker wood (possibly ebony or ebonized wood) inlaid with thin lighter bands, possibly brass or a different wood, adding an elegant detail. Above the wooden column, there are further brass elements, including a fluted or ringed section leading up to the light socket and shade fitter. The brass components exhibit a warm, aged patina and some surface tarnish, indicating their vintage nature. The electrical cord is black and emerges from the base. The lamp is topped with a prominent bell-shaped fabric lampshade, characterized by alternating vertical stripes of cream or off-white and dark brown or black fabric. The edges of the shade are reinforced with dark trim. The fabric appears to be in good condition with no obvious tears or significant stains, though the cream sections may have slightly yellowed over time. Overall, the lamp presents as a stately and functional decorative object, likely dating from the mid to late 20th century. Its craftsmanship suggests a good quality production, with attention to detail in the turned wood and brasswork, reflecting a classic design aesthetic.
