Harlequin Candlestick Lamp: Go bold! Proclaim your creativity with this clever concoction of metal, resin and crystal drops. Cream, black and antique gold sport a jazzy conical gold-leaf paper shade. It’s serious fun wherever you entertain.

They will look quite fetching sitting atop our Hall Chest w/Magazine Storage. The black granite & gold finish is “right on” for the candlesticks.

We love mixing metals and ceramic. Our Art Glaze Lamps add an artistic approach to any project. Combine them in a room with a modern mix that might include our Chelsea Chandelier along with our Beveled Mirror Chest. This might be my favorite combo. I am picturing a black & white cowhide for the perfect accessory to an urban chic environment.
