I am a huge fan of the Bunny Williams Brushstroke Lamp. It is a stunning lamp and works beautifully with chinoiserie. It is adored by interior designers and often seen in show houses. But at $1,175, it is not in most budgets.

I found a great alternative at a great price. The one below is a fraction of the price. It even includes a linen lampshade and LED lightbulb. The Bunny Williams is for the lamp base only.
Also available in brown and white.
The brushstroke design is fresh and modern but classic with its double gourd design and plays very well with others. It would be great in a foyer, living room, or bedroom, used as a pair or individually.
Quite a find...amazingly, (whispering) I might even like it more than Bunny's. HD's is bolder so a good contrast to busy patterns of blue and white porcelain (if one is inclined to place it near the lamp) and the brass base is cleaner, not as fussy as Bunny's.
ReplyDeleteThat's interesting.
DeleteThis is really quite a find! I love it in both colors. I am definitely ordering this. Thank you!
ReplyDeletePlus, at the HD price, you can get a cobalt pagoda finial for the lampshade to goose it up a bit.

Yes, I have posted on that finial before. I love beautiful finials and often change them out.
DeleteSuch a wonderful find!!!! Thank you, Beth!!!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you like it.
DeleteJust a thought,but it really wouldn't cost much to have the bases changed on the less expensive lamps. An investment of $50 in materials and labor would give you something even more stunning at a still very low price
ReplyDeleteTrue, but I like the cleaner lines of this base. For $5.00, one could get a bottle of Liquid Leaf and do the base if one preferred a gold leaf finish as opposed to the metal look.
DeleteThat is truly an amazing find, Beth. Several years ago, I purchased two Ralph Lauren "Daniela" table lamps, which I had been coveting for some time. They are french wired and have a large, many faceted crystal pedestal base with white silk shades. I searched and searched, but never found anything that came close, and still have not. I adore them. There was once a smaller, considerably less expensive, crystal lamp at Pottery Barn that would have made a very pretty accent lamp, but they no longer carry it. I think when something continues to call out to you like that, you have to take the plunge - just make sure to thoroughly read the merchant's return policy when you buy online.
ReplyDeleteI love that top vignette of Amanda Lindroth's, and just purchased her book, "The Well Adorned Home", after having seen it on your site. She is so amazing!
Just so we don't confuse people, Amanda Lindroth's book, a favorite of mine, is Island Hopping. The Well Adorned Life is Cathy Kincaid.
DeleteBeth I have to hand it to you - your shopping skills are superb! I am buying this lamp ASAP. And the clam shell from Home Depot was quite a score as well. Now I feel like Home Depot rocks!
ReplyDeleteGlad you like the clam shell. I love that piece. Are you getting the blue and white in the lamp?
DeleteYes in blue and whit. I'm just debating whether or not to buy two.
