Bronowski Lamp by Shirley Marie Dees
 
This artwork is from the Bronowski series. The overall height of the lamp with its shade and distinctive finial = 36". It has a 3-way switch for lighting options.

The main image on the base of the lamp is from a book of Art Nouveau designs - that drawing is signed E.F-B. Also included on the base is the image of a winged ibex from a Persian jar handle (c. 400-300 b.c.e.) - this image is both on the lamp's base and on the oval lamp shade.

The lamp shade is top quality and hand decorated to coordinate with the base. The lamp also coordinates with the Fuseli Table and the Bronowski Chair.

The following text is on the lamp base and is quoted from Jacob Bronowski's Ascent of Man:

"Every animal leaves traces of what he was; man alone leaves traces of what he created."
