Merchant lamp

Great investment piece for your lighting collection

Great investment piece for your lighting collection

One of our favorite designers says that every room should have something ugly and something black.  We don’t completely agree with the ugly part, but totally on board with the black element.  That’e why we found this great looking floor lamp for your portfolio.  It’s a bit of an investment, around $450.00, but we promise it looks great with the other pieces we’ve curated for you.

Made of solid brass, the Merchant lamp is supremely flexible: lengthen its telescoping arm, rotate it from side to side, and angle the shade to brighten your favorite reading chair or conversation nook.

“Around the turn of the 20th century, merchants would have used a lamp like this, with its broad-mouthed bell shade, to highlight the wares displayed underneath it. Originally, it would have worn a blue-tinted lens that balanced the yellowish tone of early bulbs, “color correcting” the merchandise so customers could accurately gauge its hue.”  Rejuvenation Catalogue
