As distinctive as a beautiful Peacock fanning feathers in the wild, no two shades will ever be the same as their individuality can be as remarkably unique as their personality. This artistic creation utilizes swirling opalescent art glass background combinations including beige, yellow pink, golden green, ivory, bluish-white, turquoise blue, olive, and spring green. The eye of the plumage design reveals purple, pastel blue, teal, cobalt, and ivory, accented with blue and purple colored jewels. Individual pieces of glass are hand-cut and wrapped using Meyda Tiffany's famous copper foil construction. Each shade is a unique work of art with color variations based on natural ingredients inherent in the glass. Mahogany bronze finish.
Very pretty lamp. I purchased it for my office which is painted a navy blue and the colors work perfectly.
The photo of the lamp on Wayfair's page doesn't really do a good job of showing it's colors. In the photo it is difficult to tell what the darker color is in the shade - when the lamp is off this color appears to be cobalt blue, but with the lamp on, it is purple. The main body of the shade looks like a mix of green, blue, and amber, but when turned on amber is the primary color and the other colors appear as soft streaks. While the lamp is pretty while it is turned off, it is very pretty turned on. I also like the mahogany bronze color of the base.
One thing to note, the bulb information and instruction sheet on Wayfair's page is incorrect, although I see the same information on other pages as well so I don't think it is likely Wayfair's fault. The web page states that a 40W candle type bulb should be used, but the sticker on the lamp says to use a Type A bulb with maximum of 60 Watts. The instruction sheet reflects similar information, but there is no thumb screw for the shade and the bulb base is not a narrow candle type bulb.
Just to add for additional information, the on/off switch is on the cord. All in all a very pretty lamp and glad I purchased it!!. Virginia. Madison, WI. Tue Jun 14 2016
