You need a smaller lamp for that spot.

Agree with Clt3

Agree with both - too large. Suggest very small - about the size of pineapple so contents in top of desk can be seen. Another suggestion if I may be so bold - remove the 3 blue & white pieces on top. Let top wooden deorative shape show off. The framed photos would be nice on the wall between top of cabinet & drape - with a smaller & shorter lamp, the wall is available! 😊

I appreciate the input! Not too bold at all, I love improving my home! Thank you!

I like the size as it lights the pics. The shade is all wrong. Typical lamp shade shape and one that doesn't totally block the light.

you should remove the pictures and replace with a nice humdor.

I have that same secretary with the claw feet at all four corners, but the pediment on mine is a bit more curvy and elaborate. I think you've way overloaded it with big stuff; lamp, urns and pitcher. I never leave mine in the open position because it puts a lot of stress on the mechanism and exposes the interior to dust.

Remove the stuff from the top and do you actually use this as a desk since I honestly think it is not useable as it sits anyway. Take a pic of the whole space this sits in and then we can help. I do find the lamp too big for the piece for sure.

Maybe an adjacent floor lamp.

Much too large. Would suggest a small lamp whose shade protrudes just above the glass of the left side door. Would also suggest a circular shade with the top being smaller than the bottom.

I think you could buy a floor lamp with shelves, and put the stuff on the shelves. Instead of crowding on the little space.
