1920s Spanish Revival Wrought Iron Floor Lamp with Amber Mica Shade
Viridian Eclection
The Piece
A striking early 20th-century Spanish Revival floor lamp featuring a hand-wrought iron frame, sculptural scrollwork base, and a warm amber mica shade that casts a rich, golden glow. This is the kind of piece that transforms a room instantly, adding depth, warmth, and architectural presence without trying too hard.
The tall blackened iron standard is accented with aged brass-toned details and a candle-style platform beneath the socket, a nod to earlier lighting forms as electricity became standard in American homes. The wide conical shade glows in deep amber tones when lit, creating a soft, atmospheric light ideal for evening settings.
This is a true statement piece with authentic age, character, and presence.
