Vintage Copper Vessel Lamp — Pierced Steel Shade & Penguin Finial
A captivating blend of folk-art whimsy and traditional craftsmanship, this tall table lamp is assembled from a repurposed early 20th-century Middle Eastern copper vessel, likely Turkish or Iranian in origin. The body features hand-hammered surfaces, ribbed bands, and incised patterns with rich patina and texture. It is paired with a pressed steel shade, pierced in floral motifs and set with colorful glass beads that cast a warm, jewel-toned glow when lit. A painted penguin finial crowns the lamp, adding a playful, sculptural accent. This “marriage” of old and new elements results in a unique conversation piece. The lamp is fitted with a three-way switch and a weighted steel base for stability. A distinctive statement for collectors of eclectic, vintage, or global décor.
