L.236

A pillar lamp with a rare red marble column and glass font that matches the colour well. With such attractive colour combinations, it's hard for me to just pass by such lamps; I bought the lamp at an antique market near us.

The base is made of playfully ornamental cast brass. The font with its light pink colouring matches the marble column very well. I guess I was attracted by the brightly polished, shiny brass mounts in combination with the high quality column and beautiful font....

A French painted tulip in cranberry colour was such a good match that I decided I'd rather replace the supplied 15’’’ Matador burner with a 14’’’ Kosmos burner for it, so I could use this tulip on this lamp.
