Japanese Retro Style | Oil-Lamp-Shaped Table Lamp in Antique Bronze Finish
This Japanese retro-style table lamp reinterprets the forms of early oil and kerosene lamps, combining the silhouette of traditional lighting with modern electric light for a strongly nostalgic, classical and industrial-vintage feel. The lamp has an antique-bronze metal finish throughout: the four-footed base, slender column, glass chimney holder, the wide conical shade above and the top ornament all share the same bronze tone. The metal is not a modern high-gloss mirror finish but a subdued brass / antique bronze color, closer to the look of an old oil lamp mellowed by time. The middle section keeps the clear glass chimney typical of traditional oil lamps, set in a metal holder with openwork decoration, so the piece imitates not only the outward look but even the most characteristic structure of an oil lamp. The wide metal shade above is well proportioned, echoing the design of old lamps and letting the form open naturally upward from the slender column into a very handsome silhouette.
