When it comes to choosing a lamp that will be suitable in the majority of decorative situations it’s pretty hard to go past brass. Brass is one of those metals that seem to match with all kinds of furniture styles whether they be modern or traditional.
The thing about brass table lamps is that when the base is shined to its full potential it can look like it’s a modern piece that will blend in nicely with an up to date décor. But brass also looks quite good when it has been allowed to dull and the natural metal finish allows it to take on a more antique appearance. This makes it capable of being placed in a more traditional room.
The type of brass you can buy for your lamp can vary widely depending on the quality, finish and price of the metal. If you are looking for a solid brass table lamp base you are going to find that the cost will be quite high.
A column-shaped lamp base is perfect as a traditional piece if the brass has been allowed to become tarnished. It looks better than a bright lacquered finish and even if it not particularly old, it will take on the appearance of an antique.
An added feature of a brass table lamp, particularly a solid brass table lamp, is that it will have some weight to it and this will give it added stability. It is also possible to find lamps that not only have brass bases but also a brass lamp shade for an all-over brass look.
An unusual but very attractive looking combination may be able to be made by combining the brass lamp shade with a wooden base. A teak table lamp with a brass lamp shade is an interesting pairing that would make a real impact in the room.
A brass table lamp does not necessarily have to look old and boring. In fact if they are given the right treatment and are placed in a suitable room they can positively glow for you.
