The lotus flower is one of the most ancient symbols still with us today -- growing in muddy water and rising above the surface to bloom with remarkable beauty, lotus symbolizes the purity of heart and mind. Taking that inspiration and creating this lovely table lamp, we've included the finishing touches of chrome-plated hardware, a silk-wrapped cord, and a large linen drum shade to complete the lux look. In ancient times, the lotus flower represented long life, health, honor and good luck -- and we hope our modern crystal interpretation brings all of those to your home, as well.
