Electric table lamp with painted-black wooden base and chrome metal spine and lampshade. Base is solid rectangular block that rises to about 1 inch at front, then swoops upward in a concave curve to almost 4 inches at back; electric cord protrudes from center of back of base. Supported by and attached to base is two-inch wide rectangular strip of chrome metal bent into a C-shape which forms the spine. Suspended from underside of top of spine is a light socket and metal hemispherical lampshade, joined to spine by a short barrel and ball-and-socket joint (which allows the shade to be swiveled). Along back of spine, just above base is on/off switch.
