Vintage Brass Scale Lamp, Libra Balance Motif, Drawer Base, Pleated Shade, 1950s

The balance scale has stood as a symbol of justice, harmony, and equilibrium since antiquity, later adopted as the emblem of the zodiac sign Libra. This vintage table lamp builds its entire form around that motif rather than treating it as applied decoration.

A brass balance scale with two suspended pans hangs from a graduated arc pointer above the fulcrum, mounted on a black-painted wood base finished with brass trim. The base includes a small working drawer with a round brass knob, standing on four short brass feet. A central brass post continues upward from the scale's center to the socket, topped with a white pleated fabric shade.

The lamp presents in good vintage condition, with signs of use consistent with its age.
