SATIN SILVERED BRONZE MERCURY GLASS TABLE LAMP

SATIN SILVERED BRONZE MERCURY GLASS TABLE LAMP

The base alone tells the story — handcrafted mercury glass finished in satin silvered bronze, mounted on a gold leaf finish wood base that introduces a second layer of material warmth beneath the lamp’s cool, reflective surface. The Romy mercury glass table lamp by Arteriors Home is built around the unpredictability that handcrafted finishing produces — slight variations in color and pattern across the silvered bronze surface ensure that no two lamps are identical. That quality gives the Romy an authenticity that factory-consistent finishes cannot replicate. A gray linen drum shade with white cotton lining sits above in generous proportion, its 20-inch width providing the visual mass needed to balance the lamp’s 32-inch height. Gold leaf warmth below, silvered bronze above, cool gray at the crown — a composition that moves through material contrast with complete confidence.

Elegant Design Details

The satin silvered bronze mercury glass finish is the lamp’s defining surface quality — a treatment that layers metallic depth, reflectivity, and aged patina into a single material expression. Mercury glass construction allows light to interact with the base from within and without simultaneously, producing a surface that shifts between opaque and translucent depending on the ambient light conditions surrounding it. The handcrafted nature of the finish means the silvered bronze tones vary subtly across the curved base, with some areas catching more light and others receding into deeper, more bronzed shadow. The gold leaf finish wood base grounds this visual complexity with warmth and solidity, its gilded surface providing a distinct material boundary between the lamp and the surface it rests on. The gray linen drum shade with white cotton lining completes the composition with a cooler, more restrained tone that balances the richness of the base without diminishing it.

Soft, Ambient Illumination

The gray linen drum shade with white cotton lining is a considered pairing — the linen exterior moderates the light’s color temperature toward a cooler, more sophisticated tone, while the white cotton lining reflects light internally before it passes through the fabric, producing diffusion that is even, clean, and genuinely warm despite the shade’s cooler exterior color. The result is illumination that flatters the mercury glass base and the surrounding room in equal measure. The lamp accepts up to a 150-watt E26 standard-medium base A19 3-way bulb, and the 3-way rotary switch on the socket provides smooth, accessible brightness control across three output levels. At 19.5 inches from base bottom to shade bottom, the light source sits at a height well-positioned for ambient spread across living rooms, bedrooms, and formal sitting areas.

Size & Functional Features

Standing 32 inches tall with a 12-inch wide round base, this lamp is scaled for console tables, sideboards, and living room end tables where a lamp of genuine presence is expected to anchor the surrounding arrangement. The drum shade spans 20 inches across the top and 21 inches across the bottom — a nearly uniform width that produces the consistent cylindrical silhouette drum shades are valued for, with just enough taper to prevent the profile from reading as rigid. At 8.5 pounds, the lamp carries the physical presence its 32-inch stature warrants without requiring the structural reinforcement of heavier ceramic or stone alternatives. An 8-foot clear and silver cord provides generous reach while maintaining visual continuity with the lamp’s silvered bronze finish from base to plug.
