What a beautiful lamp. The glass is true to color  - a stunning dark sea glass - the shade is a bit more of a taupe beige rather than a creamy beige - the ribbon accent really highlights the attention to detail. Timeless design and exceptional quality. It would work equally well in a coastal, classic or retro room. The lamp arrived a week later than originally scheduled - but not a problem, as it arrived securely packaged with no damage - even included the light bulb. Well worth the wait.
