torchieres
Tall standing lights
Torchieres are tall floor lamps with an upward-facing bowl or shade that directs light toward the ceiling, creating indirect ambient illumination.
The name comes from the French word for torch, reflecting the lamp's resemblance to a torch held upright.
A pair of torchieres flanked the living room sofa.
