🕯️ Vintage Brass and Milk Glass Floor Lamp
Mid‑Century • 58.5" Tall • Brass, Cast Iron & Milk Glass
A tall and elegant mid‑century brass floor lamp featuring a heavy cast‑iron–weighted base, ribbed brass column, and a beautifully formed milk‑glass shade with a flared, scalloped profile. The lamp stands 58.5" overall, giving it presence without overwhelming a room. The brass retains its original, untouched patina, with warm oxidation that adds authenticity and depth. The milk‑glass shade shows minor underside roughness—typical of mid‑century production and not visible when installed. Fully functional and ready to place.
