The Best Antique Bronze Floor Lamps for a Mediterranean Look
The antique bronze floor lamps that suit a Mediterranean look best have a simple, sturdy form and a natural shade: a tripod or turned column base in a warm, slightly uneven patina, topped with linen, cotton or woven rattan. These pieces echo the aged metalwork found in old Italian, Greek and Spanish homes and sit comfortably against limewashed walls, terracotta floors and rough timber. In this guide we look at the lamp styles that work, including tripod, turned column, swing arm, woven shade and lantern inspired designs, and explain what each brings to a sunlit, relaxed scheme. We also cover how to choose between brown, green and near black patinas, which shades and bulbs keep the light warm and golden, where to position a bronze lamp in living rooms and bedrooms, and how to build the wider room with natural materials, earthy colours and a restrained palette that feels calm all year round....
