Entry way table is 71in long, 19in deep and 34in high, ceiling height is 12 ft. I want to put 2 lamps on the table but am unsure as to how high, wide and shape they should be. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

If you posted photos of your foyer and entry table, it would help people come up with suggestions regarding lamps for the table. It's difficult to suggest a shape or style when we have no idea what style the table is + colors on walls (or wallpaper), etc.

If you want a pair, one on each side match? You can do a little math...: )

There are no hard and fast RULES,....there is what nearly always looks good.

Just wondering with the size of the mirror two lamps might feel squeezed in or with having to be on the narrower side, the overall weight and balance may feel off.

Would you be interested in using stick on battery operated sconces and a more layered feel.
