Wrought Iron Acanthus Leaf Table Lamp

This table lamp features a distinctive organic design characterized by hand-forged wrought iron elements. The central column is composed of two arching metal stems that create an open ovoid silhouette, embellished with jagged, flame-like or acanthus-style leaves that sprout vertically. The metal retains a dark, aged bronze or rustic patina with visible texture suggesting hand-crafted production. The base consists of symmetrical scrolled feet resting upon a rectangular, beveled wooden plinth, which shows a weathered finish. The lamp is capped with a simple linen or burlap drum shade featuring a thin dark horizontal band near the bottom edge. In terms of condition, the metal shows a deliberate distressed finish, while the wooden base exhibits some minor nicks and surface wear consistent with age and use. The craftsmanship reflects a late 20th-century aesthetic, likely influenced by rustic French or Italian provincial lighting styles. No maker's marks are immediately visible in the provided view, but the hardware indicates a standard contemporary electrical socket assembly.
