Tole shades get their color from hand-painted metal — a thin sheet lacquered in a solid tone, in this case a deep forest green with a warm gold-toned interior that reflects light back down rather than simply filtering it. This vintage lamp pairs that shade with a substantially turned wood column, rather than the slender metal stem more commonly seen beneath tole shades.
The base is dark wood, turned into a tiered, rounded silhouette, meeting a brass neck fitting at the socket. The original conical green tole shade sits on top, finished with a small brass finial, and an inline switch on the cord keeps operation simple.
The lamp presents in good vintage condition, with signs of age and use throughout. The green shade carries a naturally worn patina that reflects its history rather than reading as a flaw.
