after photographing my foyer for this post i became nostalgic about the pink chest of drawers on which the lamp resides. so strange and so lovely. i vividly remember when i first saw this piece of furniture. sitting in a window on Portobello Road. it was that sighting that drew me into the shop in the first place. i thought a pair of balusters that i was picturing as lamps in the back of the shop were my bigger crush at the time but i ended up back across the ocean with the oddly pink chest. and i already have no fewer than four (no lie) pairs of baluster lamps in my house anyway!
said balusters (that i do still have a crush on, come to think of it :( there a million miles away now).
yet another crush from the same shop... this one a bit too lofty to ever be considered anything more than a fantasy, however *sigh*. and in case the scale doesn't translate (and i don't think it does), the diameter of this gem was about 48" - seriously.
