but honest brass throughout. The traditionally proportioned silhouette feels substantial and grounded, with that rust-coloured flex adding warmth and a subtle design signature that keeps it from feeling overly formal. It's equally at home on a bedside table, desk, or console, though the solid brass does mean it's genuinely weighty—worth considering if you're rearranging frequently. Pair it with darker walls or alongside natural wood for the warmth to really sing. Fair warning: brass will develop patina over time, which many find beautiful but requires acceptance rather than polishing.
