Peg Lamp

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The lamp has a bronze-colored base with an octagonal shape. The base has a thin line around its edge. A short, ornate stem extends upwards from the base. The stem has a narrow, cylindrical section at the top. A green glass bulb-shaped object sits on top of the stem. The glass object has a bronze-colored metal cap on top with a small protruding rod. The background is plain and gray, transitioning to white at the bottom.
