genuinely unobtrusive. The antique brass finish and minimal geometric frame create a refined silhouette that reads as intentional rather than decorative, making it work across periods and palettes. It's particularly effective in living rooms and studies where you want ambient light without visual clutter, especially paired with warm-toned walls or alongside mid-century pieces. The brass will develop a natural patina over time, adding character—just know it benefits from occasional gentle polishing if you prefer the original shine.
