Light gleams off the crystal and the fixture's polished frame with a soft glow in both directions

Cynara Table Lamp Finley Collection By Capital Lighting as the sand dollars areMade by a group of women who live at the border of Burma and Thailand, the Cynara Table Lamp is a lovely oversized white lamp shaped like an artichoke. Each leaf, or bract as they are called with the real plant, is made of ceramic and affixed by hand, the shaping a painstaking process in order to mimic the lamp's edible namesake. The body of the Cynara is then finished in a soft antique white.
