The long, slender body and bowl-like shade of this elegant floor lamp are synonymous with 1920s and 1930s lighting design. Named torchiere (derived from the French word for torch), this style of lamp produces a bright, upward-facing beam that reflects off the ceiling to diffuse across a large area.The opulent scalloped shade crafted of honed alabaster emanates a soft glow and complements the rippled texture of the black-finished forged base. When styled in an entry, flanking a doorway or beside a fireplace—or tucked in a tight corner thanks to its slim silhouette—this regal piece truly evokes the period Athena Calderone aimed to capture through this exclusive collection.
