KNIGHT LIGHT - MEDIEVAL TABLE LAMP HAND PAINTED
Medieval Knight Table Lamp is a wonderfully designed lamp featuring a Noble Knight in armor kneeling with arm reaching upward to embraced his sword which is placed vertically into the base. The sword which has been designed to act as the lamp post is thrust down into the cast resin simulated stone base. The perforated metal shade features fleur de lis symbols. This Medieval Knight Table Lamp is cast of polyresin and is hand painted to give it a glorious realism of real armor. The lamp, in combination with its shade, stands 22" high.

In the early Middle Ages the term knight designated a professional fighting man in the emerging feudal system. Some were as poor as the peasant class. However, over time, as this class of fighter became more prominent in post-Carolingian France, they became wealthier and began to hold and inherit land. Eventually, on the Continent of Europe, only those men could be knighted whose fathers or grandfathers had been knights; and the knightly families became known as the nobility.
