From its vertically defined flutes to its pale gloss finish, there’s an inherent airiness to our Meridian lamp, with a buoyancy that resembles a floating Chinese lantern. Indeed, its elegant double-gourd design dates back to China’s Song Dynasty, and it has since remained a classic staple across the world. By incorporating fresh, decorative details in gorgeous American ceramic, our artisans have updated the silhouette, allowing the piece to appeal to both modern and traditional tastes. A clear acrylic base adds to its sense of lightness, while a perfect layer of glaze provides rich shine. Play up the Meridian’s shapely symmetry by pairing two on either side of a console, sofa, or bedroom dresser. This lamp is topped with a crisp white laminated linen shade, accented with nickel hardware.
