When Marjorie Skouras designed the Codorniz Brass Table Lamp, she was inspired by the Mexican quail that roam the meadows and woods of the Yucatan Peninsula that she calls home. The pair of quail and the rocky ledge on which they are perched are fashioned from cast aluminum in an antique brass finish. The black marble base is honed rather than polished and the natural linen shade with gold foil lining has glimmering gold trim on its top and bottom edges. A whimsical design detail is the finial that is shaped like a quail's head-feather.
