I am an interior designer interiorsbykristen.com I purchased these lamps for a master bedroom. They are placed on a large computer desk. They are reasonably priced for the look. Please read the description on the color of the shades. These are not off-white. The photos make them appear white. They are a traditional linen shade in a linen color. They are beautiful and fit my design well. Notice the gray ribbon lining on both the top and the bottom, with a stripe of the linen fabric on top of that, finished off with the nailhead design. The silver base is smooth, sleek and shiny. A contempory base. A very unique blend of two different styles.
