metalwork language without descending into pastiche. The antique brass metal frame has genuine presence and patina, while the fabric shade grounds what could otherwise feel overly decorative. This works beautifully in layered, character-driven spaces: think dark-painted studies, bedside tables with collected objects, or living rooms that lean moody rather than minimal. The brass will develop its own personality over time, so it's worth positioning where you'll actually notice it. Pair with warm-toned walls or jewel-toned textiles to let it shine.
