This lamp is a gem; I use it as an accent piece on a small table in a room with a desk and a day bed the styling of the lamp makes it work well with all different types of furniture - the furnishings in this room are traditional but I could also see this lamp working with furnishings that are a bit more modern as well.  The quality of the lamp is outstanding looks much more expensive than it really is; the lamp shade is white and the quality is excellent on that as well.
