Fluting cut into the base is the first thing to notice about the Callum Floor Lamp, quiet ornament that grounds a tall, slim column. Solid brass runs from that base up through the stem to the tapered shade, so the lamp reads as one continuous material rather than assembled parts. A protective topcoat keeps the brass from tarnishing, which means no polishing routine to keep up. The metal shade sends light downward over a chair or console instead of glowing all around. A foot switch on the cord handles on and off.
