With its base made of a solid pyramid of marble, the Repertoire Brass Desk Lamp is a larger than the average-sized task light, so it will illuminate more of the surface on a grandly scaled desk. The metal in an antique brass finish is a warm contrast to the pale white marble. Though the shape of the shade brings the gold desk lamp a nostalgic touch, the contemporary design with its serious slant has an ultra-modern feel to it. The Repertoire is adjustable at the shade.
