Black and gold is the pairing that makes a table lamp look decided, and the rippled black metal shade on this antique gold base is the reason to buy it. Three feet tall, it holds its own on a console, a dresser, or a desk, and it belongs to a family with a matching floor lamp and wall sconce for the room that wants the full look. Give it to the friend redoing the living room, or take it home for the corner that has been waiting. By Kalalou.
