This arch lamp is even prettier in person. The scale of it is also not captured in photos. I consider it the jewel in the crown of our mid-century modernesque living room. The base is super heavy and it feels more substantial than other arch lamps I’ve seen. I suspect it will be with us for decades. The dimmable switch and reflected light from the gold leaf inside the shade, cast the moodiest warm glow over our sectional. It makes for the most inviting aesthetic that is somehow modern and romantic at the same time. Couldn’t be happier with this purchase.
