19th Century French Gustavian Lyre Table Lamp in Distressed Wood with Shade

About the Item

This exquisite 19th-century French lamp is a striking example of timeless craftsmanship and design, inspired by the classical beauty of a lyre. The carved wooden base is meticulously crafted into the shape of a lyre, with gracefully curving arms and delicate vertical bars that mirror the strings of the iconic instrument. This unique sculptural design makes it a true conversation piece, ideal for lovers of fine antiques and French decor. The wooden frame features a beautifully aged, distressed patina that showcases its rich history and adds depth and texture to the piece. The subtle variations in the finish give it an authentic, timeworn character that embodies the elegance and charm of 19th-century France. Its neutral tones make it versatile enough to blend seamlessly with both traditional and modern interiors. Topping the base is a classic drum shade in a warm, neutral fabric that diffuses light softly, creating a cozy and inviting ambiance. The shade’s understated design allows the intricate details of the lamp’s base to take center stage while offering a touch of contemporary balance With Harp: 41.5"H Shade: 19.25" Diameter
